Pages 889 - 892 │ Penelope, part V │ Read by Joanna Lumley


Joanna Lumley was born in Kashmir in 1946 and came to England as
a young girl to complete her schooling at St Mary’s School in
Sussex. She spent three years as a photographic model after being
a house model for the late Jean Muir. She is probably best known
for her portrayals on television of Purdey in The Avengers and
Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. She is the author of the
autobiography Stare Back and Smile; Forces Sweethearts, an
anthology of love letters in wartime; Girl Friday, in which she
described how she fended for herself on a desert island; and In
The Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon, an account of a journey
through the Kingdom of Bhutan the latter two both based on BBC
films.


Her memoir, No Room for Secrets, was published in 2004, followed
by Absolutely: A Memoir in 2011.


Her latest book, A Queen For All Seasons, was published in
October 2021 and is a unique portrait of – and touching tribute
to – Queen Elizabeth II as she becomes the first to celebrate a
Platinum Jubilee.


She was made a Dame in the 2022 New Years Honours List.
