AND WHAT’S BEEN YOUR MOST ENJOYABLE? The Dumb Waiter. It was just myself and John Travolta, and it was very funny. Travolta and I were laughing so much we couldn’t film at times. And Shirley


Valentine was enormous fun to do, too.  DID YOU ENJOY CELEBRITY 5 GO BARGING? I did. I tend to avoid shows like this as a rule, but it was fun. DO YOU HAVE ANY UNFULFILLED CAREER AMBITIONS?


I am writing another novel and I have one I must find a publisher for. I don’t have any particular ambitions to play certain parts. But I get asked to do different things, so life is never


boring. WHAT’S THE BEST SHOWBIZ PARTY YOU’VE BEEN TO? A party at Walter Matthau’s house in LA was memorable as Jack Lemmon was there, as well as other people I revered. WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO


SWAP PLACES WITH FOR 24 HOURS? A brilliant pianist, like Yuja Wang. I play the piano myself, so to be able to play as well as she could would be heavenly. WHAT’S BEEN THE MOST EMBARRASSING


MOMENT OF YOUR CAREER? I once went to a meeting and didn’t recognise the person interviewing me. It was Lord Snowdon, the photographer, who was married to Princess Margaret, and I remember


asking him if he ever took his wife abroad to work with him and if she was an actress.
