Just been watching her in The Jury, and she's very good. I wouldn't mind her defending me if I commited 3 murders ( which I haven't).
Do you think sh'es any good. Alanthemanc

    Ha, Ha, like it. She went to Manchester Uni. never recovered properly, but I always thought she was a Scouser, but talks with a Birmingham accent somehow, very strange. I still rate her though . Alanthemanc

    I think she's a very talented actress in both comedy and serious roles.

    Who could forget her as Mrs. Overall in Acorn Antiques, or in Two Soups :?:
    Classic comedy :lol:

    Hi Alan
    I think she is a fantastic actress...she lends herself to so many parts....a brilliant comedienne.....but the tv drama were she took the part of a lady that was dying...was amazing...she had so many roles...and I think her first appearance was in boys from the black stuff..
    Love

    Julie Roberts is definately unrated. I shall watch The Jury when I can as I am completely shattered by 9.00 and go to bed. Her role in Ladies in Lavender is really good and like has been commented before she is good in comedy and serious films. (Why do I always want to type in text form?)

    Hi Alan
    Just picked up your post,sitting here in my office listening to the 'Directors Cut' CD (things are quiet here this time of year!).Can't wait for her new CD '50 Words For Snow' out 21st this month............ :grin:

    Have been great fan since she first appeared (have signed photo).Still think she's great and totally unique.Wished they would release her videos on blue ray (or even DVD),have all her videos (as well as her CDs) but nothing to play them on.

    Watch her on You Tube,but bit of a compromise.

    I think she went to Manchester Polly with Bernard Hill ( I think ) who was brought up in Blackley, Manchester, not far from myself. He deserved a Bafta or whatever for that performance in Boys From The Blackstuff.
    Hope she reaches the same standard tonight, and by Friday she should be in full swing. Alanthemanc

    I've always thought Kate was a genius,, and consider The Man With The Child In His Eyes, the greatest song written in the last 30 years. If you go on You Tube, there was a rare film of Kate on an American chat show, she sits cross legged on a Grand Piano, and when she finnishes T.M.W.T.C I.H.E., the Americans in the audience gulp, look at each other,
    there's a split second of silence, and a ripple of aplause.
    They didn't recognise what they were watching...... greatness.Alanthemanc

    Will look that one up when get back home,security system on company PCs blocks access to You Tube.
    I've tried many times to choose my favourite track,but where do you start.................. :???:
    Genius is one word to describe her,could think of many other adjectives!!
