Bear with. I’m showing my age here - some of you may remember the actress Jessie Matthews. She was a singer and dancer who became famous in the 1920’s and 30’s. She was so successful, she went up against Ginger Rogers to partner Fred Astaire, but lost out as the studio preferred an American. Her career waned after WWII, but she subsequently got the part of Mrs Dale in the BBC radio serial, ‘Mrs Dale’s Diary’.
I mention her because by the late 70’s, she had pretty much faded into obscurity, but there was a memorable incident at a red carpet event broadcast live on TV. She was briefly interviewed and then the man with the microphone moved on to talk to a young actress (can’t remember who). Matthews simply couldn’t bear being ignored and made a bit of a fool of herself interrupting the interviewer, wanting to talk about her past glories.
This is what I think about whenever I imagine Price’s post prison future - elbowing her way through the young, talented people to spout off about how she used to be somebody, only to discover that nobody gives a shit!
