I remember I was a little girl when Elizabeth Taylor stole Eddie Fisher from America's Sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, and the reaction back then was enormous!

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving.

As a child, I watched 'Dallas' and that was my vision for my life for as long as I could remember.
