The Smoking Room
Character Guide:

Character Profile: Lilian

Age: You shouldn't ask a lady that! (I'm 53).

Marital Status: Very happily divorced.

Hobbies: I love a good dance so I'm trying to find a nice salsa or line dancing class. But most of the ones I've tried have been women heavy. Or full of poofs. No single men there at all. Or none you'd want to dance with. I used to do aerobics - until it went strictly no-smoking.

Favourite Book
I like those true life stories from long ago. Where she's a lowly servant, with hepatitis, but the Lord's son takes a shine to her and whisks her away. And they marry in secret. Then he cheats on her and dies - usually from drugs - but she doesn't care because she cops for all his money. She thinks, "Hang the hepatitis - I'm going to have some fun!" and jets off to live in Paris. They're the sort of books I like.

Favourite Colour: I like oyster in a bra and autumn leaf can be fetching in a shoe. But I'm lucky - I can carry off most shades.

Ideal Holiday Destination: Honolulu.

Person You Most Admire: It always used to be Jesus but I find I'm less swayed now by what he had to say. You have to admire Liz Hurley. She's made very little - well, virtually nothing - go a surprisingly long way.

Earliest Memory: I'll never forget my first cigarette. Capstan Full Strength. I felt like I'd finally found myself.
