Jennifer, you've been sent things by fans.
Were you in the theatre and you got a nice...
Was it a letter or a parcel?
I know what you're going to say!
No, because you do get sent quite odd things by fans.
Generally, drawings are nice things, you know,
gifts that they've sewn or made,
but, yes, I did once get sent pubic hair.
Yes!
Quite unexpectedly.
A lot of it?
But how was it arranged?
How did you know it was pubic hair?
Oh, no, you...
It was when I was doing... Did the first play.
It was years ago - must be 25, 30 years ago.
I was doing a play in the West End - and the trouble with being
in a theatre is everyone knows where you are every night.
You can't be anywhere else -
so they can always drop things in -
and I was opening this envelope and I thought,
"Oh, it's padded!"
A padded envelope.
Burst it open...
And phew! You go, "Oh..."
Wow.
Oh!
LAUGHTER
Oh, I say, and then a slightly odd sort of
cut-up slightly pornographic letter.
And of course you report it.
And this was a guy who was doing it in the West End
to lots of actresses in lots of plays.
And I think he got arrested after he sent it to Felicity Kendal.
That's all I know.
I think there was trouble then.
Or maybe he just ran out of pubic hair.
He's going for the armpit hair...
