Here are my answers to this week’s Share Your World from Pensitivity101

Do you have a favourite movie?

Yes, I do. I very much enjoyed reading the book – 84 Charing Cross Road by Helen Hanff and then caught the movie quite by chance on television. I could not imagine the book being made into a movie as it is mainly a series of letters exchanged between two people on different continents just after WW11. Well, I just lapped it up and enjoyed it as much as I did the book. I have watched it several times since and I enjoy it every time.

Anne Bancroft played Helen Hanff and Anthony Hopkins was Frank Doel. The rest of the cast had very famous names too so it could not fail to be excellent.

Who is your favourite actor and actress?

Quite difficult to answer this as there are so many talented people out there. Julie Andrews, Judy Dench, Jane Fonda, Meryl Steep, Julia Roberts the list goes on. My favourite actress is without a doubt Barbra Streisand. She plays her parts with such passion and her singing of course is amazing. I loved her in Yentl which comes a close second to my favourite – 84 Charring Cross Road. Richard Gere has to be my favourite actor – he is gorgeous and I loved him in Pretty Woman! Julia Roberts is also one of my favourite actresses.

Do you attend or have you ever attended a live theatre production?

I have attended several theatre productions. The first live play I remember attending was “Crown Matrimonial” – I was about thirteen years old and my mother took me. I absolutely loved it.

Have you ever wanted to be an actor/actress?

Yes. I act all the time but not on a stage or in the movies. Most of my acting has been done in front of a classroom. It helped keep the children interested and amused. Making a fool of myself got them learning!

Gratitude:

I am grateful for all the awesome people around me and the blessed life that I lead.
