THE WORLD PREMIERE BANQUET
BLENHEIM PALACE, 1 NOVEMBER 1997
My Waifs and Me
Left to right:  Our wonderful waif understudy, Debbie Maguire, Rose Meredith, me, Yvonne Hill and Aimee Johnson.  If I look particularly happy, I am!  I've just given the girls their Grumpuss medallions and I'm beginning to realize that the show is over and I can finally relax and enjoy myself. 

Whenever I look at this photo, I can't help wondering.  On the big night, Debbie was 15, Rosie just 13, Yvonne 14 and Aimee 13, but they look so elegant and grown up, don't you think?  And when I'm with them, I do look younger, don't I?  But I can't help wondering if I'm not shrinking, too . . .
