Procrastination

I have described my life as a child movie star actor appearee before. Now, I have evidence as myself as a tv star actor appearee, too.

I had an email from my brother directing me to a film of Joyce Grenfell, and, in particular, a couple of sections towards the end of the audience at a recording of the Michael Parkinson show in 1976. My father, who worked in what now would be called PR, publicised Joyce Grenfell, and presumably got us all tickets. I have no recollection whatsoever of having sat in a BBC studio watching Parkinson interview Joyce Grenfell. But I am there, along with my brother, mother and father.



Ms Grenfell had just asked the audience to close our eyes and imagine the character she was protraying - hence everyone in the audience has their eyes shut. And the image is spliced from two stills I grabbed. (Presumably the BBC owns copyright of my image...)

And before [livejournal.com profile] star_tourmaline says it, I clearly needed a hair cut in 1976. However, this applies to 90% of the male members of the audience, including Mr Parkinson.
