Legend is a word slung around with abandon, but she was one in the true sense.

I suppose this means I'm going to have to stop wanking over her picture now. Still, it's clocked up some mileage.

Ah RIP.

Sure I've told this story before but... I was two when my younger sister was born. We went to the hospital to see my mum and the new baby. Trapeze was on the TV and apparently I kept pointing at La Lollobrigida and insisting it was mummy. Given my mum was feeling anything but beautiful and glamorous (having just given birth) apparently it fair cheered her up.

She was my father's favourite It girl.
