Interesting to see her interviewed at that point, talking about her current dearth of comedy roles, only to be offered a Ruby Wax spot (which famously lead to Absolutely Fabulous) that year or a year later. When did Ab Fab start?

Great to see this clip, thank you.

That's the movie based on Charlie Chaplin's love affair with Hearst's mistress( I forget her name). Pretty good movie.
