Presenter asks
1:36What was the very first part you played?
O door o' night must fall.
Presenter asks
1:44How long did you stay at [Bognor]?
Six months.
Presenter asks
3:21Last year you married Pierre Granier-Deferre, who has a busy career in France as a film director, and you have a very busy career in London as an actress. How does this work? Can you ever be together?
We are usually together for weekends, and we're never apart longer than ten days. But it isn't satisfactory. At all.
Presenter asks
3:51Is there going to be any chance of you working together soon?
Uh yes. In the summer he goes to Canada to make a film for four months and I shall go with him. I don't do much in the film, just play sort of a small cameo part of a nymphomaniac, but … we sooner or later we've just got to decide to live in one country or the other because it's not the best way to conduct it.
“I had a sort of social conscience from a very early age, and I really wanted to be a nurse.”
“I wrote to every repertory company in England, and the peer at Bognor just wrote back and said, Yes, we will have you as an ASM for six pounds ten a week, and off I went.”
“I thought I could easily go back with a safe conscience and give one third of what I earn away either to schools … because I think it's education's the most important thing of one's life and in continue doing the job that I like doing, which is acting.”
