Ray Rackham

um and i i got into mountview it was my first i was very lucky it was my first drama school audition ever and i got in to the acting course of mountview when i was like 17 so i was just about to turn 18 so i was i was like okay this is what happens then and then i was also very lucky i was very lucky that um uh because I have been told that I look like Judy Garland.

And I was very, very lucky that there was a musical, a new musical written by Ray Rackham being cast at London Theatre Workshop just as I was graduating.

So they needed somebody to look like Judy Garland for that, for the Through the Mill workshop, Through the Mill show, which went on to become Judy, transferred to the Suffolk Playhouse, then to the Arts, then to the Hippodrome Theatre.

So I was just I was really, really lucky because I think that I had so much naive naivete, as they say.
