Our immediate neighbours at the Duke of York’s Theatre in old London Town were a trio of antique thesps with silver hair, floaty chiffon and silk scarves – very Sunset Boulevard – who were getting so over-excited by Backstairs Billy I thought we might have to ask if there was a doctor in the house. Liam got chatting to the classy lady in the pew next to him. She was an actress – retired, not resting, she told him.
“Theatre? TV? Films?” he asked.
“Ads, darling,” she said.
It turns out she was the face of Cadbury’s drinking chocolate back in the day.
And yes, I think this is her…

The best, for me, with meeting Rosa Parks. She had been hero of mine for so many years. And I got to do a five minute interview with her for the local community radio station. I drove 200 miles to see her, and I actually got to talk with her! I was astounded and delighted.

The chance of a lifetime. She’s not so well known here but I’ve seen a documentary about her. A true inspiration.
