Are you healthy? For my age I'm quite good. I confess I do a lot of the wrong things: I smoke and I drink wine, and people might be horrified at my eating habits - I eat when I'm hungry and if I'm not I don't.
How much sleep do you need? A lot. Without it I'm a wimp. I become tearful and hopeless, like a child. I regard bed as my best friend.
Attitude to smoking? I smoke more than I should - 20 a day. I've smoked since I was 18 with intervals of not smoking when I was pregnant and when I've been ill. The curious part about it is I can go for hours without; getting on a plane and not smoking for 15 hours simply doesn't worry me at all.
And drugs? In my late 20s, early 30s, working in America I tried cocaine and amyl nitrate. I can't take pot, I just go to sleep. Obviously I don't touch them now. Many years ago when I was working on Broadway I used to go to a drug rehabilitation centre on Sundays. I didn't lecture them against the perils of drug-taking, I gave them drama therapy.
Is sex important to you? Not any more. I'm all for people of my age having a continued sex life, but although I had a wonderful sex life I'm perfectly reconciled and happy not to go there again.

She’s been rode hard, and put away wet!
She was hotter than a chicken pot pie....
She looks her age, to be sure. But from 20 to mid 40s, she was the cat’s meow.
POW!
Giddyup
60?? She might be 70.
Good for Diana. still non PC after all these years.
She is actually a very good actress. She played Lady Dedlock in a BBC rendition of Dickens’ Bleak House extremely well.
“Have you ever taken an antidepressant?”
“Yes, I had the baby blues very, very badly. Here I was with a beautiful, healthy baby and a husband who adored me, and I was in a terrible pit of depression. The only effect the antidepressant had was I was crying faster than I used to, so I stopped and eventually came out of it. I do, on reflection, see that my body was mourning - I had nurtured this other being which had left my body - and my mind was reflecting that.”

Well, that’s as good an explanation as any I’ve heard. Tom Cruise would approve.
What are the regnant medical theories?
Born 1938.
What does that make her? 71?
It didn’t seem to matter to most guys that she couldn’t point a gun.
I love the Brits ... or what the used to be and stand for.
Born in 1938.
That makes her 71.
But my, she was HOT in the 1960s.
There you go!
I adored her as a kid.
