Me too. I loved Rough Guide.

AwkwardSquad · 06/03/2019 20:42

Me too. She was so cool.

RedRiverShore · 06/03/2019 20:51

She was about the same age as me, I thought she was so cool and I loved the programmes she was in. RIP

AuntieStella · 06/03/2019 20:59

I now have Boomtown Rats as an earworm

RIP Sad

Gosh she can’t have been that old, either. Late 50’s?

How sad.

ShakeYourTailFeathers · 06/03/2019 21:07

61, far too young

I loved Rough Guides. I thought she was so cool.

RedRiverShore · 06/03/2019 21:07

Redcrayons · 06/03/2019 21:10

AndromedaPerseus · 06/03/2019 21:11

Sad news I always thought she was the epitome of cool London loved her image and watched Network 7 avidly as a provincial teenager. RIP

Really sad! I loved her as a teen, thought she was so so cool. 61 is too young Sad

WhiteNancy · 06/03/2019 21:28

Loved Network 7, Rough Guides and her. She was a big part of my youth.

smurfmonkey · 06/03/2019 22:34

Oh how sad, she was mega cool to me as a teenager. Didn't she only ever wear black, red or white?!

Haggisfish · 06/03/2019 22:35

I think so, yes. I loved rough guides, too.

AnyFucker · 06/03/2019 22:37

Goodness, that is sad

bluebellation · 06/03/2019 22:40

Oh gosh, I was at school with her- she was a couple of years below me (obv not under this name), always a bit quirky. Makes you so aware of how you're ageing when more and more of your contemporaries go.

PaulaPennyfeather · 06/03/2019 23:18

Bloody hell! That is very sad, and unreasonably young. RIP Magenta.

rightreckoner · 06/03/2019 23:21

My youth is long since past but this makes me very sad. It’s one thing to realise your youth has gone but quite another to see the gorgeous and glamorous figures of your youth depart this earth. That’s too final Sad. RIP Magenta.

Ohyesiam · 06/03/2019 23:29

I longed tobehalf as cool as her. She managed to be understated And larger-than-life at the same time.

I remember once they were in Rio on a beach full of beach babes in thongs. She had on a black one- piece and looked so self contained and quietly confident while the bikini babes vied for the limelight.
RIP

AssassinatedBeauty · 06/03/2019 23:33

I loved her on Rough Guide. I was properly shocked when I saw this today.

EachandEveryone · 07/03/2019 14:11

Rough Guide really opened my eyes to travelling she was so London hip to me in my little Northern town.

Deathraystare · 07/03/2019 15:24

Yes i loved Rough Guide too. Miss shows like that.
