It astonishes me that there are people who still actually believe in horoscopes. She did. It paid her bills.

Modern day Nostradamus. I believe there was some entertainment value when she appeared with Anne Diamond on whatever daytime show. Those were the days - RIP.

It really is tripe and onions. On a visit to see Macbeth at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon I recall being rather forthright with a lady when she enquired about my star sign and she did not appreciate my riposte.My dear wife did conclude I was somewhat gruff with her.A contretemps ensued and the lady disappeared into the mist like Banquo's ghost.
