 I actually enjoy wearing the corsets required in some period films. |
| While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it. |
| Until Genevieve I had tended towards the more dramatic type of role. |
| What a thrill it was to play opposite Maurice Evans in this brilliant, dazzling musical, based on the life of two of the greatest personalities in stage history. |
| After all, a job isn't worth doing unless you enjoy it. |
| Over my desk hangs a poster from The Railway Children that my husband had framed for me. It is so lovely to see the children smiling as they run down the railway track. |
| I got a divorce eleven years later on the grounds of cruelty, which is still not easy in England. |
| The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film. |
| But I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was not a very happy time for me. |
| It was one of the marvellous feelings of the film, having the music going in your head while doing scenes. |
| Well, I suppose that, in a sense, every screen role is a favourite with me. |
| So I regard my part in Genevieve as a real challenge. |
| They wanted Guy Middleton instead of Kenneth More, and even Kay Kendall wasn't their first choice! |
| I was a sickly child, contracting tuberculosis at the age of five. |
