She's decrepit as well, now, so your luck's in.
ReplyDeleteI note that in 1972, she played 'Fanny' in 'Up The Front'. Well, you can finish off that one yourself
Ah, but you're not taking into account my time machine, via which I bring these babes from the past, when they were young and nubile, into the present. Or sometimes I'll go back and visit them.
DeleteI liked her as one of three females warm for the form of Nicky Henson in BAWDY ADVENTURES OF TOM JONES. If I recall correctly, Smith plays Tom's adoptive mom, who doesn't let her motherly duties interfere with scoping out Tom's assets.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've seen that movie, GP, but funnily enough, I saw an elderly Nicky Henson in an episode of Grantchester just a couple or so nights ago. Maddie is in a movie called The Amazing Mr. Blunden (based on The Ghosts) and is always a pleasure to 'watch'. (By that I mean look at.)
DeleteWhat Bond film was she in? Madeline Smith was a Hammer actress too.
ReplyDeleteNicky Henson played Dracula on BBC Radio 4-Extra last weekend and he was in Space Force (on the same station) yesterday
Madeline Smith was in Live & Let Die, CJ. Nicky Henson died around 5 years ago, so you were listening to repeats.
DeleteI knew I was listening to repeats, Kid, but I didn't know Nicky Henson had died.
ReplyDeletePrunella Scales, who died recently, was only five weeks older than my (late) mother.
2019 he died, so it was actually 6 years. It's sad your mother died, CJ, but a good thing she didn't have Alzheimer's like Prunella Scales.
DeleteThis year's Christmas stamps are available from today if you're interested, Kid.
ReplyDeleteThanks, CJ, I'll probably buy them - I usually do. (Even though I've sent very few Christmas cards these past few years.)
DeleteKid, I was in Tesco yesterday looking at the Christmas ornaments and there was a little rocket-ship with Santa in a cockpit at the top which reminded me a bit of the rocket sledge ornament you've shown on the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Tesco I also bought a pack of Tunnock's tea cakes which I haven't had for donkey's years.
I don't have a Tesco near me, but I'd like a look at that rocket sled. The one I've got (two now, in fact) is a friction-drive toy, but it serves the purpose of an ornament 'cos I don't actually play with it/them. Think I'll buy some tea cakes if I go out today.
DeleteIt was a rocket-ship not a rocket-sled.
ReplyDeleteThe toy I have is called a Space Blimp, but the original Chinese word can mean ship, sled, blimp, etc., so as you made the comparison I simply used a synonym after the original. Clever, me, eh?
