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.

Indeed we do.
I remember that graphic!
It’s a GOOD one!
Thanks for posting it again.
When I was a kid, I wanted to “be” Emma Peel.
I thought she was SO cool!
You don’t think she’s aged well, potlatch?
Well, to be 70, I think she looks pretty good.
I’m glad to she she’s shunned cosmetic surgery, and that she’s still working.
[You don’t think she’s aged well, potlatch?]
Not really DC. I looked up Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leachman and they looked pretty good. Jane Fonda really looks good but I’m sure she’s had plastic surgery.
Diana Rigg is seventy, not sixty.
Oops, I meant this year- before her 71st birthday.
