years before l took the star
ring role in December
Bride" I considered myself
really finished, washed up,
at the end of the road.
No Failures Final
What kept me moving,
alive and hopeful? I think
it was because even in my
darkest moments, when the
future was just a blank wall,
7 kept saying to myself:
mo failure Is ever final. :.
tomorrow may bring some
thing you never dreamed of
before. keep heavens sake,
laugh at the fear of get
ting old"
There are so many things
you can do at so, no matter
who you are or how humble
your circumstances! If only
you don't let yourself go
and take to your rocking
chair and a lot of bitter
complaining because you
consider yourself useless to
others. You certainly will be
useless to others if your
spirit falls by the wayside
and you start dreaming
about the past.
Stop thinking, Nobody
loves me anymore; I'm just
a shell of a person and in
everybody's way" That's
silly. People around you only
reflect your own feelings
about yourself. If you feel
empty and useless, they will
think you're empty and use
less and they'll want to
avoid you. If you let your
self feel alive, believe me,
they'll think you're alive
and they will forget that
you are in the sunset years.
And they will enjoy having
you around.

1t certainly is, but not the

Futility At Ia
My own father died when
I was 6, I was brought up
by my grandparents while
my mother was struggling to
become a doctor so that she
could provide for my sister
and myself in later years.
After becoming an actress at
IA I was to know years of
futile job hunting, stage
fiops and periods of actual
hunger.
At 80, I thought I was
through with the theatre
and was ready to accept a

care for my two young child

few years my luck in the
