Hits and Misses

The first time I saw Julia McKenzie, I was 15 or so and she was playing Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls at the National Theatre. I was sat quite near the front, and when she flung off her mink coat during her big number 'A Person Could Develop a Cold', it made a forceful impression on my youthful mind.

Last night she was playing Miss Marple on TV. From sex symbol to little old lady in what seems like the blink of an eye. How did that happen? I really feel old now.

Any of you had a similarly chilling experience?

Daily. Too many to mention. Including the elderly and distrait person in the mirror. Where did he come from?

Lately: Nastassia Kinski, wrapped in her python, with her baby-fat and solemn child-face -- she is 50 this year. "Well preserved," "handsome" -- yeah, all that.

I wonder if the python is still around: they can live for quite a while. If it was a live one in the first place, that is.
