Friend- Maggie Smith. I'd like to have her on my side
FWB- Kiefer Sutherland. I've had my eye on him since 1990ish so he's all mine!

BaroldBalonz · 05/08/2023 19:05

Dolly Parton

The more I learn about her, the more amazing I realise she is. I'm in my 50's and when I was a kid it was all jokes about her chest and very little else, so glad that we're seeing her for he women she is now.

And Hugh Jackman, because Hugh Jackman!!

Kiefer is even more handsome in the flesh. I met him briefly a few years ago and he called me pretty so I always think well of him 😂.

David Sedaris, love his books. He would be wonderful company.

JK Rowling or Hugh Laurie.

Kazzyhoward · 05/08/2023 19:17

Another vote for Dolly Parton, a truly exceptional/inspirational woman.

Vicky Beckham. I know the media like to portray her as a bit miserable, but I think she comes across as quite sweet & fun. I bet she gives really good gifts, too.

Same. I think she would be a riot
