    I didn't know you're a fan of our Babs Julian!..........i've always been drawn to her because of her bubbly outgoing personality, did you see the programme on TV approx 2/3 years ago where she traced her Family tree?

    It's a dreadful film, but Barbara shines in it. And the nomination was for her, as best actress, not for the film.



    The nominations were:

    # Billy Liar (1963) - Julie Christie

    # Sparrows Can't Sing (1963) - Barbara Windsor

    # The Servant (1963) - Sarah Miles

    # This Sporting Life (1963) - Rachel Roberts

    # Tom Jones (1963) - Edith Evans

    and the winner was ...

    Rachel Roberts
