Well, you've just met her No 1 Fan!!

I get a bit annoyed at some of the more exploitative scenes in her films, just like to see her smiling face and hear that voice.
To be honest, I suspect there is only one that might be truly considered exploitative. Like Helen Mirren, Jenny seems so very relaxed about her body that it always comes across so naturally and not "in your face" - not that anyone will believe me

You're right about that face and voice. It's even better when it comes almost out of the blue - I answered the phone last week to be greeted with "This is Jenny..." and I swear my heart rate doubled! Thank god my resting heart rate is under 50.

I was lucky enought to meet her briefly at Collectormania but the security guy who took our photo didn't press the shutter so I got nothing

I've never met anyone really famous before so I was fairly dumbstruck, she must have thought I was a moron, ah well.
She really is a lovely person so I'm sure she would have done her best to make you feel at ease.

Shame about that security guard - in future, always ask them to take 2

All the best

Perhaps that's where the innocence comes from ?

That reminds me of a similar story. I do a LOT of scuba diving, one of the guys I know of picked up the phone to hear "Hi, It's James Cameron..." it was about half a minute into the conversation before he realised he was talking to the Director not just another diver.

I am sure Jenny tried to put me at ease, she had a lot of practice that day. I should have pinched myself to make sure I was awake. She even cracked a joke but it was about 10 minutes before I got it. I was speaking to the american woman managing the queue. She didn't really know Jenny and wasn't expecting to have such a busy day at Collectormania.

I have never been into the whole "fan" thing but some people just come across as nice people that you would like to meet. Nicola Walker from Spooks for example.

Being American, she probably thought an unknown Star Wars trooper would be a bigger pull than the Nation's Sweetheart.

That'll be you, me and Harry Pearce then...I think Harry might have the edge on us though!!
The new series two-part opener had a whiff of A Very British Coup about it..

Bit of a Bay Window, what??

I am Jenny's biggest even before I come to England. I go to Bradford last year just to attend her Q&A session at NMPFT. I was waiting on stairs ready for doors to open and I turned round and there was Jenny, just inches from me waiting to go in too. Some lackey kept profusely apologising to her for having to wait for door to be unlocked. I asked her why she often chose roles which were stereotypical male fantasies and she said if I wanted full answer I would have to tell her about my fantasies. There were young children there though and some bastard took my microphone away. It was recorded though so I would love to get copy of it.

She was coming onto me. I swear it. On celebmatch.com we got 100% 'physical' match. Our 'intellectual' match was pretty low though, but I really do not mind if she is dumb!

Wolfgang, the British just love to wind people up.

Now is that a wind-up or not ? ;)

Good to see that Jenny is due to be in Diamond Geezer 2 next year with both David Jason and George Cole.

All the best

Nice for her to get a part playing alongside some of her contempories!

Just because she is more beautiful than Cleopatra or Helen of Troy, it doesn't make her their age!
