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.
From Dinah Sheridan
I was a sickly child, contracting tuberculosis at the age of five.
The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film.
They wanted Guy Middleton instead of Kenneth More, and even Kay Kendall wasn't their first choice!
But I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was not a very happy time for me.
I got a divorce eleven years later on the grounds of cruelty, which is still not easy in England.
It was one of the marvellous feelings of the film, having the music going in your head while doing scenes.
I actually enjoy wearing the corsets required in some period films.
While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it.
Until Genevieve I had tended towards the more dramatic type of role.
