Susan Astle: ‘I was Make up assistant on this, probably my first filming! Great cast.’
Sadly I’ve just heard of Gwen’s death from Jan Nethercot, and so many lovely memories of working with her in the early days of Pebble Mill came to mind. She was funny, worldly wise to a young “rookie” assistant, and dearly loved by her colleagues. Those days are something to treasure.
