I hate Penelope Keith. I love her work and I think she's a great actress (if a little samey), but any time I've actually encountered her, she's been rude, arrogant and just generally unpleasant.
Breaking away from the whole thesp thing, one person who I think should definitely write memoirs (and I can't quite belive she hasn't yet) is Stevie Nicks. I love her.
LP you have written what I was very weary about writing myself incase others object. I know that she has a fierce reputation for being a real cow. I don't know anyone who has ever worked with her that can say that she is a lovely person. Most recall her being incredible bossy, nasty and very unapproachable. She is on the board of Friends Of The Richmond Theatre and her control of that has resulted in them trying to get rid of her. This is a reputation that has followed her through her career. I guess she is Margo! That said, I bet she would come out with a wicked autobiography!
