I Have A Lot Of Male Friends.

I Have Never Been The Mousy, Stand-two-paces-behind, Obedient 'little Woman' Type.

One Of The Rules About Being An Actor Or An Actress Is That You Never Diss Other Actors Or Actresses, Particularly When You Don't Know Them.

Certainly There Are Dozens Of Over-50 Actresses Who Look Great: Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon, Ursula Andress, Stefanie Powers, Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Joanna Lumley, Linda Gray - The List Is Endless, And These Are Just The Actresses! I Have Many Friends In Their 60s, 70s And 80s, Not In The Limelight, But Who All Look Absolutely Stunning.

I've Spent Years When I've Not Been In The Limelight At All And I'm Perfectly Happy Living My Life Without Being Swooped On By Paparazzi.

My Mother Was A Domestic Goddess And Mother Earth Figure. She Was Sweet And Placid - Just What The Perfect Wife Was Supposed To Be And I Was Determined Not To Be.
