congratulations jewel one of the articles korea
or as beaker with this is big the
police the pittsburgh behind the scenes a series of conversations filmed the london between james day president of national educational television and some of the people associated in the production of the forsyth side here in london we're talking with this fake company who plays the role of aunt and in the saga ms cotton i don't like colombo should repeal it you have been playing in roles for some fifty seven years now it won't invest least set the stage and motion pictures anything second second allegedly particular satisfaction from plying in the four sites are there is
enormous but it because it was a very big company and and that is any with them for five of the episodes and not have been that the moment because they're nicely set of people i've ever worked with them or down lanes and then gets suspended a few say they will solve wyden note since he was about eight and he's absolutely always just absolutely the right man in the right place with that boom like that i suppose you have the horse i saw the three challengers in the senate wanted to do it again not repeat again but to do it so i said to myself it was read this again and i took a gracious me this is going to vote and so when it didn't i couldn't put the book down and it's just it's fascinating to me then is when i first read it does the company make a difference in the quality of your own performance you've been all kinds of companies over the years is that
yes i think they do this i think about twice that the nominee whichever it is a support the leadership has agreed to do with the way in which people get on together they did the whole thing yes it's a very important thing that they should be nice and looked up to and respected or whatever you want to call it is this while you said that your role as one of the three sisters and uncle committee was a happy role for you thirty eight was a charming but the truth was quite charming one was a training for you know the cause an understanding that the other ladies of those times and she had he learned she had kind of this and she was and had great charm which
i hope i managed to bring law and eight she was just a da da da da right the situation i suppose has changed in your lifetime with respect to old ladies as you say oh yes they must have gotten on stage and i was seventeen that was six years after the first novel of course i thought it was published was could not sure that that's always the nineteen nineties at the mona prep there's anyone on the stage in nineteen ninety nine the team wasn't expecting ten i think this sense you had such a varied background going back so many years was performing in television a difficult a different yes it was different but it was a challenge and you had to accept it as it accepted those and indeed at a great debt to do that i did silent films and who you played with a couple of montreux understand that an early talkie yes i did
yes i did arizona it would mean to get a job and suddenly decided they didn't want to play the non actors who i won't name is it is a brain called them cowards and shield dodd will get aired on an inherent you remember more of its own it was the most amazing stop talking we were doing it's tarry is at five o'clock in the morning you know he was developing they've adapted them much was this before or after you were the pinup girl oh yes as a story of your becoming a pin up girl after world war one or was that during world war one it was a forward or four years as i was in musical comedy that those test started off in their legs and then we use a difficult show to
explain that he would know about it in america and they then i went into physical comedy then i went into strips then i went to interview so it sits on a different time zone you can't put that really in order for now seventy five years old and with no thought of retiring or no i don't think so you just finished a movie it's it's it's quite a ninety eight yard insist daughter's school days that gypsy i didn't play either a pentagon minute was one particular satisfaction in girls were victims so i next few months to us oh yes and they can say raise a twice and getting to talk to once or twice i used to meet an otherwise you know agents and parties or what have you what we had in those days a kind of pressure to make a point about you know this was your
porcelain six its side thinks it doesn't sound like oh jerry and that's the person that you think most like oh yes i think sang and i wouldn't say that i couldn't say that absolutely deputy presided know god's word well enough and well enough to know that i liked him enormously and he believes it nice gently said gentlemen using no real meaning of the word and gentlemen one fortunately you play with the first five episodes so we're curious about how the others played debussy the foresight is it and i was so curious about because i was really impressed by the road and went about this episodes dives in there what important episodes they would then be no generation once and they were important and i
was very impressed by that way they were bringing the noble captain and july i knew they'd do wonders with it or do i just wonder is it so if you were surprised with the success of that that you know we would be successful no i wasn't surprised it worked it was a it was such an enormous success you are often mean the
