Quote of the week: Joanna Lumley



As well as saving the Gurkhas and showing us how do do the Nile in style, in this week's Grazia, Joanna Lumley, 64, shares the secret of looking fabulous at any age:

'Oh make-up darling. I love make-up. I'd like to be like Bette Davis as I get older and older, larded with make-up.'

    Isn't it time she was a Dame??

    I am soooo lazy with make-up. I think it stems from seeing my mum wearing too much of the stuff in the 70s (oh that lovely shade of blue...). I just about manage on a night out, and even own some Mac and Clarins, but on a work morning, anything past moisturiser and a slick of mascara is all too much darling ;)

    I do love Joanna and have been told, on many occasions that I remind people of her... But I think that they mean Patsy Stone xx

    I totally agree! I love Joanna, she's marvellous. I've had the Patsy Stone comparisons too, although I like to think it happens a little less these days... Have a great weekend xx

    Great quote! Such a wonderful woman. I met some Nepali people in India this year and they were filled with admiration for her. xxx

    I find less is more even in your forties, but then I am not being filmed!

    But hasn't she had some dubious looking work? Or am I being uncharitable? Probably. I shall skulk away now.

    JL's an icon for me- and a someone to look up to on how to grow older - keeping the balance between between gracefully and disgracefully!

    I love Joanna - she's so beautiful but can send herself up. Might have to dig out the Ab Fab DVDs tonight.

    I love Joanna Lumley too and every film, series or documentary I have seen her in. It seems that she's also fabulous in private life! She made such a wonderful domumentary about the Northern Lights. Actually very touching.
    Cheers
