...Sir Simon Russell Beale; Lee Child and Joanna Trollope CBE; Griff Rhys Jones, Elvis Costello, Bear Grylls, Bettany Hughes and Alfie Boe OBE; M.I.A., Andrew Roachford and Dan Snow MBE...
...and fellow Commander of the British Empire Olivia Colman, CBE!
We love Ms Colman - ever since she played the Mum "Debbie Doonan" in Beautiful People [see here, here and here] - and have followed her amazing rise from telly stalwart to Oscar-winner [for The Favourite, of course] with fascination.
But who knew she sang [after a fashion]?!
[Film: The Lobster (2015)]
Congratulations, Sarah Caroline Olivia Sinclair (née Colman), CBE!

Still waiting for mine [services to blogging], I might have a long wait.

I was awarded a damehood last year but I turned it down on account of my youth, Damehoods are ever so aging.
ReplyDeleteTry "Dowager", dear - one'd never get a part in Hollyoaks after that. Jx
DeleteI was humming and hahing about watching The Lobster, but that little clip has cinched the deal - I will, thank you!
ReplyDeleteP.S Do I have to curtsey now whenever Dame Olivia is on screen?
I tend to, anyway. Jx
