Lesley-Anne Down Interview in Monaco(2007)

SEE BELOW THE TRASCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEW.(SORRY ABOUT THE LOW QUALITY OF THE AUDIO.)


"I was fifteen years old and I was invited to a party then I walked into a room .Across the room, a man turned and looked at me and it was like the room fell away....and it was a boy he was tewnty-three I was fifteen called Bruce Robinson and We fell in love and I was with him for 10 years.That 10 years of being with Bruce really taught me everything I knew,because He was older, all his friends were older, they were very smart people, very clever people and I learnt everything that I basically know in that 10 years.I've had a "very interesting personal life" I lived with Bruce for 10 years then I married Enrique for 18th months it was an Argentinean whirlwind then I married a man called William Friedkin who was,is a director and had my son Jack who's 25 with him and that did not last because I really didn't like him.My personal life went to complete crazyness when I married Bill.You "should never ever get married to sombody that you don't truly love." It doesn't matter that you feel that they are successful or that they can offer you things.You should only get married for love.It's a very bad mistake not to."
When I was 29 I met the man that I'm still with.I cannot beleive I've been married and with him for 24 years.That's Great ."I'm so blissed out -as they say in California-about that."
I was born in London.My parents were poor as was the norm back then, most people who had money it was a small minoraty that had money so we were normally poor.I have a sister who is five years younger than me who I hated desperately and got the blame for everything that I possibly could.I always felt when I was a child that I wasn't a child,I wanted to be adult I didn't really get on with other children I prefered to be with adults and I was clever ,I was a A student at school which made other children not like me very much.I had to live with my aunt when my sister was being born for six weeks and my aunt is a very smart women and she spoke very well unlike me and the aera that I grew up in ,where it wasn't cocky but certantly it wasn't well spoken people and my aunt was and when I came back from living with her for six weeks I actually spoke like completly a different accent and I went back to school and all the girls calling me "lady Muck"and were totally mean and cruel to me so I guess all the important events that happened to me when I was a child were rather cruel events where I was alienated and that just pushed me into wanting to do things that grown ups did to get away from being the child so when I saw an advertisement in the Times for a model a child model I thought- look I can go and work I don't have to go to school I can be a grown up at ten so all went well and that was the begining of my career .I absolutly adore working on The Bold and The Beautiful because it gives me a life ,a life that I can enjoy, I can cook, I can take my child to school ,I can pick my child up from school,I can walk the dog,I can just have a life and most actors don't get a life and when they don't have a life because they are working,they are panicking about when the next job is going to come from and I don't have to experience that.I have a stress-free exsistence and unless you've experienced huge stress,you can't truly appreciate a stress-free existence.

I met LAD 198? at a party promoting Melanie Griffiths new film Body Double and LAD was stunning, just totally beautiful but not a very nice person. She hasn't aged to well poor dear since I met her.
