SIGHTSEERS

PREMIERE

CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

I love to make my own dresses for premiere's or embellish and adapt those I buy.

After the screening we walked to the chateau in the warm evening moonight and I was thrown a lovely comment from a lady passing by

"Ooh Comme elle est Belle"

FREE FIRE

What a joy to attend the GALA SCREENING ot The London Film Festiva to see lBen Wheatley's excellent film Free Fire.                     A favourite of mine!

Spoiler alert - I feature as the Boston voice on the telephone.

The sound design was amazing, Check out Martin Pavey

Each gun had a personality of its own and the 5:1 surround made the whole experience frighteningly real.

The party was great fun and I felt very glam in my limited edition dress, Gucci shoes and Coco Chanel Mademoiselle  perfume



The Portsmouth Field Gun Crew  

  At the Royal Tournament.  

Our brave heroes.

  For the event I was their mascot.  

What an adventure!


Ray Winstone and I at THE NIGHT HERON Wrap Party, Royal Court Theatre.

Dedicating myself to the five week run of this play by Jez Butterworth, and directed by Ian Rickson, I lost my lucrative freelance work in TV.

I'd just paid off my £25,000 debt for making Cafe D' Paris and had comfortably reached zero in my bank account.

The phone call came on the last night of the run.

Ray, bless him, noticed I was like a rabbit trapped in the headlights that evening.


"You know what you do when you loose everything?"

Said Ray,, "You start again!"  

So I did. I focused on the acting and dropped my techie TV life for good.

Meeting MOONRAKER stars.

From the first movie Martin Pavey and I shared at the cinema.

Alice had just become a new Mum and was looking  radiant.
