She got paid £30 a week during filming for her role in it. She got paid way more than her total fee when Carlsberg used the bar scene in an advert.

A good work mate and friend of Mrs P passed away today. 48 years old and leaves a partner and 13 year old son.
Pancreatic cancer.
No bloody age.

Sorry to hear that mate, terrible news.
Shit, bad news, no age indeed.
Mrs P is understandably in bits. I can’t begin to imagine what these last couple months were like for the poor woman after getting the diagnosis , then trying to get through Christmas for her lad and not making it to January. Poor kid.

Fucking hell, another icon gone.
Marquee Moon is going on next at high volume. What a unique guitarist and songwriter. 
Gutted - Marquee Moon is a classic, and I loved his later solo work… 
Worth a download.
Annie Wersching, 45.
Many of us will have seen her in Star Trek (Enterprise and Picard), Bosch, Timeless, 24, Runaways…

Reeling today from the news of the death of my lifelong friend, mentor, role-model, erstwhile boss, and the funniest, most original and straightforwardly demented human being it was ever my undeserved good fortune to call a friend: John Cooper - “JC, dude!”, retired collections manager in the Dept. of Palaeontology at the NHM, London, and all-round Good Bloke.
This has come as a big shock, as he was to all intents and purposes fit as a flea (E&OE when you’re 80), and we were in regular correspondence with no hint of any ailments as of a few weeks ago.
In a kind of awful limbo of denial and wishful-thinking right now, as he was somewhat estranged from his family and I have none of their details to confirm the news, but the lass who told me doesn’t mess-about, so fear the very worst.
The world feels incredibly empty nowadays.

Sorry to hear that Paul. Almost everyone’s precious to someone, but some really do leave a bigger gap when they go.
