She was seven and her father went down with the ship
I hope I find you all happy and healthy, or at least like me clinging to the wreckage. I am not in the best of health these days but as Bette Davis once said, growing old is not for weaklings.
Luckily I am still ahead of the game and having written this column for 45 years I am determined to get to the 50-year mark.Star Wars and I still recall visiting the set. I wonder whatever happened to that movie? As I have said before on meeting George Lucas I expressed the opinion that it would flop as sci-fi film genre was as dead to cinemagoers as those old musicals.at Elstree Studios was being 'throne into chaos', which is such an amusing pun. Ok, whilst improving a 1960s building at the studio, asbestos is discovered. Wow, what a surprise, and with the usual safeguards its removal presents no problem.
For some odd reason a memory has come back to me so I will bore you with it, bearing in mind you are getting this free of charge. I had a number of lunches at Elstree Studios in the executive restaurant, which is now just office space. On this occasion back in the mid-1980s I was dining with the then Lord Lt of Hertfordshire, Major General Sir George Burns, who had been the aide to the last Viceroy Of India.
A few years ago I gave a talk at Elstree Studios about my memories and everybody was surprised, including me, that we got a full house. It would be fun to do it again as I now would rather leave fact than fiction behind me. When or if that happens I suspect it does not really matter. To older readers, what can I say other than the late Shaw Taylor on the Police Five television series 'keep your eyes peeled' or as my friend the late Jack Warner used to say on'evening all' .
