Prologue
Preamble
A shaky start
We gotta get out of this place
A very small family
First world
Life mostly with Mother
Through the square window
Fantasy meets reality
No surprises
Surround sound
Learning the ropes, feeling the power
Everything changes
In search of a tribe
New influences
The tide starts to turn
Getting ready to launch
Last supper for the chrysalis
Disoriented
On course
Relative strangers
Another perspective
Student life
A timely intervention
Paying my dues
Chasing dreams
Child bride
Screen − and finally, stage
A scare, a chance encounter and an opportunity to shine
To be or to act? That is the question
Big steps with the right direction
Things get real
Getting a grip
Fun and games
The accidental tourist
Cannes do
Kind hearts and coronets
Out of left field
Culture shock
Going home and coming home
A change of heart, a new perspective
Ordinary and vulnerable
Loss after loss – tragedy, comedy and America
The whole shebang
Learning the hard way
A shining example
Wake in fright
Bless this house
Exposed
Location, location, location
A reality check, a strap-on belly, and a pile-on
Dreams and nightmares
Decisions, opportunities and trouble with the law
Advocacy and a new start
Creating a monster
Feeding the beast
Undo it yourself
Bit by bit
The sublime to the ridiculous and worse
From brown to green
The inexorable march of time
Mothers
Real women, and a couple of funny men
A nervous breakdown and copping it sweet
Owning my inner boss
A fair cop and a battle lost
A new colleague and feisty women
Misogyny and intolerance rule
She’s back
Homes away from home
Cherry-picking
A tale of two women
On the road again
Have a go, ya mug!
Meetings with remarkable women
The luck of the Irish
The French connection
Things fall together
Champing at the bit
Right off the beaten track
Never again?
Banging on
Banging on some more
