Shook hands with Prince Charles, I was baby sat by Roy Aitken and met Fran Healy at Glasgow Airport.

[Kleiber]

I met John Wayne & had a great chat with him. I also knew Dave Allen (the comedian) - he was lovely, such a dry sense of humour. One of my teachers was a British Lions rugby captain ( won't say who, though, cos he might be reading this & he'll know who I am) and I once appeared on Police 5 (no, I wasn't a suspect, I was the investigating officer - long time ago!)
My husband was Mrs. Thatcher's bodyguard on one of her trips to the American continent.
And I remember the "Black & White Minstrels", bigmamma - used to watch it with my Mum & Dad & really enjoyed it!!

I once did a leery strip dance at a transsexuals club. A heavy-breathing little gnome reached up behind steamed-up glasses and grabbed my tassels. That's probably not fame, but it was certainly horrible.
