'Tis a sad tale.....but as true as I'm sitting standing here; I swear.

A couple of years ago, when I was 7 years old, I had two ambitions:

One was to be a telephone operator so that I could play with the cords and shout down the trumpet to people all over the World - and the other was to become Mrs. Lester Large.

When I was 15, I DID became an International Telephone Operator, shouting down my trumpet at people all over the World ("Are you Mr. Anthony Quayle?") and plugging & unplugging the cords in & out of the sockets like a woman possessed!

Sadly, the latter ambition has, to date, eluded me - but, while I have breath in my body, John Carlisle, you will remain at the top of my 'wish' list.

Well, you DID ask!


Starry x.

I saw Nicol Williamson in THE BOFORS GUN when I was 15 and his searing performance impressed me so much I went back to see the film again the next week. Like Patrick MacGoohan, I think Williamson is an actor of limited range but tremendous power and presence.

By and by I'll probably change my avatar to other actors or films that left a similar impression

I can most definitely identify with your second ambition - though my target is a little different

Cal Shenkel - self-portrait parody, and the artist behind much of Frank Zappa & The Mothers album art.

I remember seeing him on stage in The Doll's House as Dr. Rank. A woman behind me said 'ee he looks like Gregory Peck !'. Very good performance he gave too and as I remember it went to broadway.
