Stella Rimington, former head of MI5. I've just read one of her novels.

Joan Fontaine, just now.
I'd forgotten she was Olivia De Havillands sister and that they were rivals.
To be honest though, it was because we watched Rebecca last night 😁

Was it good? I got it 2nd hand for a bit of a chilled read but it's been sitting on my bookshelf ever since I brought it home, can't seem to pick it up and get started.

Dudley Moore, am in my 40s so know who he is but just wondered about him, very sad reading

This is also the most recent celebrity I looked up after watching Santa Claus the movie at the weekend.

I enjoyed it yes, but it didn't end in the way I expected it to. She's written several I think - mine is called The Geneva Trap. I got it second-hand too, and like you it sat unread for ages until I started it last weekend.

Steve Davis. Snooker. Still alive.

I sat behind him on a flight to Edinburgh. Didn't ask for his autograph. This was before Instagram was invented, so maybe now I'd get a selfie with him and post it with some crap snooker pun.

Francis Rossi tonight. He was on celebrity antiques road trip & I thought he was dead. It's the other one from status quo who is.
