My “Letter From NY” radio talk this coming Wed, 27^th March, begins & ends with self-satisfied praise for my new flat screen Smart TV. In between, I wax nostalgic for the beginnings of my career in dance, radio & TV - & for the first time in public, reveal one of my most embarrassing moments. I hope you’ll tune in to Alex Lewzcuk’s Midweek Drive http://www.sirenonline.co.uk/section/shows/midweek-drive

And for those of you keeping track, my Tweets are coming along quite well (although I am seriously in need of a course in “tweet speak”) However, I continue especially with the ones promoting the sale & auction of rare 60’s TV memorabilia to aid Alexandra Bastedo’s Champion Animal sanctuary. You’ll find details for the auction , signings etc at: http://www.tenthplanetevents.co.uk/. I hope you’ll join in & help support this wonderful cause.

Thanks, Annette

Meet Annette Andre

The 1960's and '70's, when I did the majority of my work in films and television, has come to be enshrined as Britain's “Golden Age”. To those of us both in front of and behind the camera, it was a wonderfully exciting and creative era – but none of us, least of all me, would have thought of it as a “Golden Age”. But now, in the retrospective of time and age, I do believe it was a blessed convergence of talented artists of all disciplines and a uniquely receptive audience. Time and again, those fans who saw the original productions or who have come to them in re-runs, use glowing adjectives to describe the pleasure those comedies and dramas from that era gives them. From co-starring in the film “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” and my own TV series “Randall & Hopkirk, Deceased” to the many episodes of such popular ones as “The Saint”, “The Prisoner”, “The Avengers” & many, many more, I feel so lucky to have fans the world over who keep in touch with me. I hope you will too. With warmest wishes, Annette Andre
