Spaced out JERRY HALL'S co-star [in The Vagina Monologues], Josette Simon, is in less jocular form. When I point out that the programme notes have omitted her best known television role - in the 1980s sci-fi series Blake's Seven - she replies: "You're not going to ask me about that, are you? I am a Shakespearean actress. I have an OBE. It's so annoying when Blake's Seven is the only thing people want to talk about." Sorry.
Ouch ouch ouch. Its not usually a good idea to bag ones fans!!!!!
How uppity and snobby
Oi! She's not bagging her fans. C'mon, be fair -- how would *you* like it if you were an artist, and the only thing people cared about was the first painting you painted after you graduated high school? It's not very affirming if people don't give a stuff about what you're doing *now*, just what you did then, as if what you're doing now is meaningless.
I know *we're* all very fond of that role, but I do sympathize with her. (Kinda reminds me of how the only thing that people seemed to be able to remember about me when giving Christmas presents was that I liked cats. I got a bit sick and tired of it after a while...)
