Has marriage mellowed her?
Probably not, but it has got her back on TV a few times, which was likely the ultimate goal.

Is she coming back from the dead as well? Or just there to be with Kit?

Does make the blind on the other thread seem unlikely.
Apparently they had broke up as a couple and now they seem to be back together here in Belfast while he has a break from filming in the Paintbox Studios.

I met the musicals actress Marti Webb backstage once. Contrary to the well spoken voice she has in interviews, she was broad Cockney, a bit like Babs Windsor.

Her understudy, Sorelle Marsh, was incredibly friendly and very encouraging.

Penelope Keith was absolutely lovely. As posh as you'd imagine, but incredibly generous and unpretentious.

Maureen Lipman was quite terse.

I'd almost forgotten... I used to see Roger Moore quite often. In my early teens (1960's ) I used to ride my pony, Peter, near where he used to live (Barnet Lane, Totteridge) When he came past in his car, he would stop, get out and say hello to me. He'd pat Peter and give him a mint if he had one. Lovely man.

Yeah Maureen Lipman doesn't seem to get very good "reviews" from those who've met her.

From people who have met her, Elaine Page is not a nice person at all.

I know someone who said the same thing and he said that he knew her so well.

Not sure if they're still classed as celebrities but saw Level 42 a couple of weeks ago, Mike Lindup was lovely and charming and chatted to us for ages. Mark King however was aware a group (6 of us) were waiting outside, including one lad in a wheelchair who goes to about 10 of their concerts every tour. All the band know him by his first name. We were left waiting for over 2 hours on a very cold night when someone told us he was already on the coach, and had left by a side entrance. As we walked towards the coach he disappeared at speed inside, clutching his very large wine glass. Left a very nasty taste in our mouths, all he had to do was send a message saying he wasnt really up to meet and greet and all would have been fine. Sounds like the ego that caused the original line up to braek up is back with a vengeance. Not sure I will spend my hard earned money on him again, even though I adore their music.

And you all broke into a chorus, singing: 'Well, I suppose you're leaving us now....?'

I saw Level 42 a few years back at the Philharmonic in Liverpool. After they'd finished their set they stayed on stage and people went up to chat to them. There were too many people around Mark King (and they'd probably be talking Bass-Bollocks anyway) so I made my way over to Mike Lindup. He was absolutely lovely.

I do like their music (well the stuff from World Machine onwards) but I went off Mark King when he left his wife and three kids to run off with the nanny (who happened to be his wife's best friend at the time).

I've heard that, too. Not unusual in aging divas. Don't know if she was nicer when she was still a star.

Ive never really liked the band Blue, or their music, but I met Simon Webbe yesterday and he was a really nice guy. Very charming and down to earth.

He was on IAC a few years back and was nice (if a little vain - but then who wouldn't be, with that face & physique!)

Met her in 2009 at a signing. She was absolutely lovely, though this was meeting fans so understandable.

Anyone with half a brain would be able to work out that he's playing up to a 'role' on his reality shows so I can only assume people think he is actually 'that person' are a pretty thick.
Indeed. Simon Cowell was very good-humoured with myself and my wife when we spotted him on the top deck of his massive yacht in St.Tropez marina, despite my wife having been yelling her head off at him to get his attention.

He didn't invite us on board, unsurprisingly

There's a nice story going around about Louise Redknapp helping pull out a lady who fell into a freezer.

Scarlett Johansson - witty and humourous yet somewhat reserved

Wife was at a "do" in London. Being sociable she circulated and chatted to people. Went up to one woman and asked her name. She pulled a face and turned away after telling her "I'm Bianca Jagger." Presumably she expected everyone to recognise her.
The only one in the whole room who announced herself with her surname. (Actually her long divorced husband's surname.)

Seeing as I just had to google her I'd say she's not very famous and if I'd been at the do I'd have been oblivious
