I Know A Lot Of People Didn't

This Is The Moment Behind Which I Could Forget Every Other Moment That Has Passed.

Back Then I Was Called Dumbo Because Of My Ears. I Was Called Fatty, Too. It Was Hurtful So I Became Like The Class Clown. I Became The One Who Was Kicked Around.

I'm Very Organised These Days, And I Keep My Life In My Handbag, Like Most Women.

I'd Been A Housewife And Mother To Our Son Thomas Jefferson, And I Was Looking For A New Career. So When My Agent Called And Said A Producer Named Paul Elliott From E&b Productions, The Biggest Panto Company In The Country At The Time, Wanted To Meet Me I Agreed.

The Idea Of Doing Theatre Always Terrified Me Because I Get Terrible Stage Fright. In The Early 1970s I Was Offered A Panto But The Thought Of Going On Stage Was Just Too Mortifying.
