A wonderful lady, I would imagine a very deep and intelligent person and genuinely gentle. I think most men my age fell in love with her as boys back in the late sixties and early seventies.
I agree Ian, very well spoken and very respectful of other people in her craft. I think for me there was a "stirring" in 1984 when I first watched her performance as Nurse Price in that iconic 1981 horror and then about 1988, whilst in my early teens, I first stumbled on the work of Nicolas Roeg and watched her in Walkabout that I realized Jenny was not only a beautiful actress but also a fantastic actress.
I was thinking the same thing when he mentioned that he has to do his own stunts too. Tragically died two years after this when he fell from a horse, breaking his pelvis and succumbing the next day.
Like many young guys at the time I had the most fantastic crush on Jenny. And just a couple of weeks after this was first shown I met a girl who was the absolute spitting image of her though a few years younger. We've been together ever since....lucky me! So much was she her spitting image that in the summer of 1987 we went on holiday to Corfu and the barman at our beach resort wouldn't believe she wasn't Jenny; he'd seen her in American Werewolf. So as she was Jenny he refused to accept payment for our drinks and we had a nice, cheap holiday! Does he still have the "Love from Jenny" signed photo, I wonder?
Great piece of footage with Jenny here. But sad that Roy Kinnear was talking about stuntmen and when he appeared in a Spanish film they refused a stuntman (for reasons of cost) and he fell from the horse and ............. All very sad. RIP Roy, a great in comedy actor
That comic has that irritating disease a lot of comics have: continually interrupting conversations to somehow make everything about them/don't know when to be quiet. His constant interjections were infuriating.
