I have no idea why the beautiful Joanna Lumley is subject to a post, but she popped in my head for some reason. Like Pasty it may have been a drunken haze. Most of us know her and her image above from Absolutely Fabulous.But did you know the tall, cool, blonde, JOANNA LUMLEY cut her chops before the camera as both a model and a Bond girl in 1969, she had two lines as “The English Girl” in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service — but it’s her hilarious turn as the boozy, self-absorbed Patsy Stone on television’s Absolutely Fabulous with which she will always be joyfully associated. Blessed with a gift for physical comedy on par with Lucille Ball’s, Lumley’s Patsy clambers over airport luggage conveyor belts and slides down stairwells, dressed to the 9th degree in short-skirted 1990s power slut fashion and a towering up-do that recalls late-period Ivana Trump. But this actress is also a classically trained actress and appears in many productions of the English stage. But no denying she is stunning and very beautiful. Here's more of her beauty........
Sweetie, Darling, great post!
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI remember her from the old Brit series "The New Avengers." That was probably around the same time as she was a Bond girl. It was a million years ago now! Both she and I were much younger then.
ReplyDeleteBeauty + comic timing= perfection
ReplyDeleteLOVE joanna! Can't wait to the new season of AbFab starts again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright witty woman. I don't know her exact age but she is still vibrant and interesting. A rare bird indeed
ReplyDeleteI chatted once with some lovely older British ladies in Croatia on the beach. They went to a concert, Joanna's husband was conductor but she didn't want any publicity for her cause it was the evening for her husband. She stayed out of camera's. I think she's a real lovely lady, total opposite of Patsy but i love Patsy too!!!
ReplyDeleteSO excited for the new season...er, series.
ReplyDeleteShe is a honey! And I think there are the first pictures I ever saw of her out of Pasty style!
ReplyDeleteme too! I absolutely adore her, she is an idol of mine- so classy- I wish more women were like this "these days" ;) she will always be lovely
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good time to talk about Joanna Lumley. We're very excited about the new series episodes.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE Her!!!
