Once met Willy Russell (the author) .. was the speaker at a luncheon I attended. I rushed up to him like a sad groupie asking for his authograph as my son was studying his Trilogy "Blah, Blah Blah" .. he kindly looked at me, although with a puzzled look on his face, and duly signed some scrap of paper from my handbag.

Was excited to show teenage son my prize, and he calmly explained "Mum, it isn't Willy Russell, but ....... ?" Forgotten who the hek it was now!! What a pratt I felt. :D

A play about the Kray's would have been called Blood Sister and his more tougher brother.;)

Can't imagine Pet Clarke doing it.:eek:
