Patricia Quinn, Magenta in The Rocky Horror Show, still touring fifty years on, and married actor Robert Stephens the day before his knighthood.

**Patricia Quinn does not love cats, and Rocky Horror fans have loved her regardless for fifty years.** She originated Magenta in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and she is still touring it, selling out theatres across America in the same jacket, night after night. She has met three generations of the same family dressed as Magenta, grandmother to granddaughter. Mick Jagger once turned up backstage. On the way into the studio to record this episode, strangers stopped her in the street asking for a photograph. She married Robert Stephens the day before his knighthood came through, and stayed twenty two years. When he died, King Charles wrote the letter read at his memorial. Cats, by contrast, never got a look in. Across the table with Chrissy, Patricia is Rocky Horror royalty who never chased a knighthood, a cat, or anyone's approval.
