Lumley is a hotass.

[ceebee_eebee]

I decided I had to watch Assignment #1 again last night because it was clear I didn't remember a damn thing about it if I couldn't even recall who Lead was. Watching it again, it became clear why I didn't remember it. I didn't really like it much. Sapphire was very different in that serial from who she is in the others and I like her WAY better from Assignment #2 onward. Anyway, that's not the point of this post.

The point of this post is Joanna Lumley. I first became aware of her as Patsy on AbFab. What I didn't realize then was how much of a departure comedy was for her. How much of a re-invention. I never knew she'd started out as a model and an action hottie girl. So seeing her on S&S is so f-ing cool. And it also made me want to hunt down a million pics of her.

So, without further ado, I bring you a giant picspam of Joanna Lumley through the ages.

(Beware. VERY image heavy with large pics.)








(She has aged magnificently. What a strikingly gorgeous woman.)






(I ♥ this pic. So saucy!)


(SO YOUNG!)






(Oh, Patsy.)


(Gorgeous S&S promo shot.)




(Shockingly, I kinda love her more as a blonde. And that's very unusual for me, because I tend to go for the dark-haired ladies.)








(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)


(Sheeeeeep!!!)

And finally, another gorgeous shot from Sapphire & Steel:



So, there you have it. Joanna Lumley being a total hotass for DECADES. I don't think it's humanly possible to be any more fabulous than that.

LOVE this picspam (found the link via the S&S community). La Lumley is a legend & rightly so. Can't be long before she's made a Dame, especially with all the recent high-profile campaigning she's been doing for the Ghurkas. One of my favourite pics is this one.

Have you seen "Sensitive Skin" ? Possibly my favourite Lumley performance yet. Catch it before HBO remake it with Kim Cattrall (yes really!)

WOOOOOW! That pic is GORGEOUS! Oh, man. What a beauty she is. And no, I haven't seen Sensitive Skin, but the pics from it definitely intrigued me. I'll definitely have to check it out. No offense to Kim Cattrall, but she's no Lumley. ;-)

Oh, I agree & I dread to think of the US remake of "Sensitive Skin" - it's a very melancholic black comedy/drama, that I can't see them replicating easily. Come to think of it, Kim Cattrall seems to be following Lumley's career roles - Samantha in SATC was a watered-down Patsy from AbFab, and now Sensitive Skin LOL.

There was talk of a remake of Sapphire & Steel not long ago, but the creator/writer P J Hammond said talks broke down as the network (ITV) wanted everything explained & were unwilling to keep the mystery. I've yet to listen to the 3rd series of audios, glad to see from your other posts that you've enjoyed them (Zero sounds excellent !)

It's true! How odd. I actually like Kim Cattrall a lot, so I suppose she could do worse than following in the footsteps of fabulousness. ;-)

And yes, the third season was brilliant. Totally brilliant. I don't want to build it up too much, but Zero is definitely my favorite of all the S&S audios. I hope you enjoy it!
