Over my desk hangs a poster from The Railway Children that my husband had framed for me. It is so lovely to see the children smiling as they run down the railway track.

What a thrill it was to play opposite Maurice Evans in this brilliant, dazzling musical, based on the life of two of the greatest personalities in stage history.

The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film.

I got a divorce eleven years later on the grounds of cruelty, which is still not easy in England.
