I was born on 23 May, sometime between the end of the Great Depression and the beginning of the Second World War … Oscar Wilde once said, “Any woman who would reveal her age, would reveal anything.” So there! You can always Google it.
I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt and a loyal friend. I have three children, three grandchildren and 13 godchildren, who range in age from nine months to 57 years old, and some of whom may not even remember that I’m their godmother.
I am an actress – I don’t ever refer to myself as an actor – an author, a producer, a feminist, a philanthropist and an entrepreneur. I have been married five times (and by far the happiest and longest is my last husband of nearly 20 years, Percy Gibson).

Charles piped up, “I heard him telling that to Jeffrey on the phone.”
