My mum didn’t take me to audition for Bugsy Malone.
I wasn’t at drama school, didn’t do drama club, never said that o wanted to be an actor, and we didn't know they were making a film but I felt very hard done by that I wasn’t actually in the film. I met Alan Parker many years later and had to bite my tongue.
But I never forgave my mother for this wilful non consensual lack of stardom. All those actors lording it over the rest of us.
