And the owner of a bottomless glass!! There was a comment in Paul Murray Kendall's biography of Richard lll that it's hard to be the brother of a king, to have everything, money, fame, etc but never the ultimate prize, the Crown. I think that applied to Margaret. LL

Hmm. She may have taken after Uncle Eddie, and not her more grounded and sensible parents.....

An actor friend of mine knew her and she was so over the top.......
