[Closed] I used to love Jane Horrocks,

Quick question - have you been cryogenically frozen for the last 3 or 4 years?

I once read a short interview in Empire with a second or maybe even a third-string new actor whose name I forget. He was asked "What makes you decide to take the parts that you do?" To which he replied: "I want to eat".

You should be so lucky.

mr sparkle - yes.
mr woppit. still, a terrible waste.

She probably has a mortgage to pay.

Read an interview a while back, she pointed out the Tesco stuff, while not proper acting by any stretch of the imagination, did allow her to have a family life and an income at the same time. Good on her I reckon.

fair play to her.

if she was doing voice overs for cluster bomb manufacturers I might take a different view.

Cluster Bombs 'every little helps'.

I find her extremely irritating! Thats all.

She's a bit lovely. Whadda ya mean she does voiceovers for Tesco? I thought it was just 'The Little Princess' and 'Fifi & the Flowertots' that she did the voices for......

An America "Bubble" from the BBC-TV series "Absolutely Fabulous". However, in her off time, Horrocks is an accomplished vocalist, as evidenced on this wonderful collection of standards.

Fifi and the Flowertots is far worse than any of those awful Tesco adverts.

I'm surprised they haven't had her advertising chocolate spread for them, if any of you remember her in Life is Sweet?

I tried to watch Little Voice once. Managed nearly 20 minutes.

But as Lord Olivier used to say, when offered any part "What's the fee, dear boy?"
