Blunden (1972), Henry VIII and His Six Wives (1972), and Voyage of the Damned (1976). Some of her better known performances include her roles in films such as Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), The Amazing Mr. In the decades since her death, Frederick's legacy has steadily established a posthumous cult following for her collection of work in motion pictures. She lived out the remainder of her years in California, and kept a low profile until her death in 1994. Her career and reputation never recovered from the backlash and she was subsequently blacklisted by Hollywood. She was publicly criticised, ridiculed and perceived as a gold digger by the press and public. In 1980, after the death of her husband, Peter Sellers, she came to national attention over the nature of his controversial will, in which she was listed as the primary beneficiary. Known for her classic English rose beauty, she often played the girl next door and was famous for her performances in a range of genres, from contemporary science fiction to slasher horror, romantic dramas, classic westerns, and occasional comedies although her greater successes were in period films and costume dramas. In a career spanning ten years, she made over thirty appearances in film and television productions. Lynne Frederick (25 July 1954 – 27 April 1994) was an English actress.

“I missed them acutely when I finished Ghost Hunter,” says Paver now, who has spent the interim years publishing a handful of critically acclaimed novels for adults, from the terrifying ghost story Dark Matter and Thin Air, where five Englishmen set out to climb Kangchenjunga and which was described as a “a heart-freezing masterpiece” by the Observer. It’s wonderful – sheer escapism, for children and adults alike. The canoe was gone,” Paver writes, before sending her stone age boy and his wolf on a quest to the far north, where they’ll be hunted by ice bears, and face their most evil enemy yet. To his alarm, it didn’t lead towards the valley where the clan was camped, but down to the River Blackthorn where he and Renn kept their canoe. “Tracking was what Torak did best, and even by starlight he found Renn’s three-day-old trail. Now Torak is on the trail of Renn, who has disappeared without a word. Ten years later, Torak, Renn and Wolf are, in fact, back, both in an upcoming TV adaptation of the first six books and in Paver’s latest novel, Viper’s Daughter. “As soon as you write that last line and finish the book they are gone,” she told the Guardian at the time, “and they don’t come back.” W hen Michelle Paver won the Guardian children’s fiction prize in 2010 for the final book in her bestselling Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, she was done with the stone age adventures of the boy Torak, his wolf companion, and the girl Renn. I realized that all my favorite stories have that… whatever-it-is in themīy the time I’d written an entire series that tried to capture that whatever-it-is, you’d think I’d have figured out a better name for it. JA: When I started writing, I found myself missing a sense of… something like wonder in the books, movies, and TV I was seeing. I have had my books compared to some Benjamin Ashwood series, if that means anything to you.ĪC: Nice! As my readers know, I’m also a huge fan of classic fantasy stories, and my love of “90’s Fantasy” is what led to Benjamin Ashwood. I’m a big fan of the old fantasy tropes, and I wanted to see if I could write a book that uses them in ways that feel familiar, but is also full of life. Not a cuddly sort of dragon, more like cousin-of-Smaug dragons. They have Keepers (storyteller/mages) who travel with gruff dwarves and flighty elves and run into the occasional dragon. JA: Thanks for inviting me! The Keeper Chronicles are an ode to my deep love for the classic fantasy books I grew up on in the 80’s and 90’s. AC: Hi JA, mind if I call you Janice? Thanks for joining us today! My readers may have heard of you from your Keeper Chronicles series, but in case they have not, can you tell us a little bit about those books? The movement was so gradual that I’d let out three long, foggy breaths before my hand even brushed the quiver. I was well hidden, and after giving Albus the signal to stay motionless, I began to reach for an arrow at my back. Kneeling like I was, the grass around me almost reached my forehead, and its frozen gold color was camouflaged to the pale brown of my furs. The animal took another cautious step, and then stopped to look around. I had to steady myself when the first point of the deer’s antlers poked through the trees, because it excited me so much that I almost rose too. While he all but vanished, I discovered why he’d been rising. He obeyed, lowering himself to his stomach so completely that his pure white fur disappeared in the deep snow. I didn’t want him giving away our position, so I gave him the hand command to lie down. “Tch!” I clicked my tongue at my wolfhound, which was crouched at my side but beginning to rise. Just the thought of him was making my stomach cramp hungrily. So far, this had been a rough winter, and I’d been tracking an elusive deer for the last few days. The forest around me was blanketed in a thick sheet of snow, but I was wearing enough fur to double my weight. Kneeling on one knee, I peered through the long, frosted blades of grass in the meadow, clutching the bow in my hand and watching the dense trees at the other end of the clearing. I can’t thank you enough! You’re the best. She thought nothing, so it is reported, of spitting her gum (which she chewed often and with relish) out of a window at her New York loft, ignoring the possibility that it might land on a passerby (which it did once, prompting an angry woman with gum in her hair to storm the loft and demand an apology. Rules and propriety were for other people. “Madame” was mercurial and prone to fire anyone who did not do her bidding instantly. The people who worked for her were indeed terrified half the time. Nobody was allowed to stand in her way to success. I wondered: do I really want to write about her? Is she too much of an obnoxious type? When I first “met” Lady Duff Gordon in the course of researching The Dressmaker, I thought she was one of the most imperious and unlikeable women I had come upon in years. Her clothes were worn by royalty, high society women and glamorous movie stars alike.īut Lucile, herself, was a very tough lady. Lucile was famous for her diaphanous, floating fabrics in soft colors that freed women from the corsets of the nineteenth century.
