Kristin Scott Thomas

And then she died.

Then I had to find another one.

No, it was in English.

It was an English-speaking, an American woman in, well, actually two American women in Paris.

It's such a funny thing.

I mean, the thing in the film is really quite sort of on it.

That's on the money, that thing about what she says to her children when they've got to get over the fact that they're

father has died.

I see my father, my father was what 30,

six I think when he died um I remember him as a sort of beautiful young man daddy who I was madly in love with because I was five um but actually now he'd be 80 something quite old very old um and my stepfather I knew less because I was away at boarding school when I when my stepfather was around but um

He brought us all up.

So I just feel admiration for him, admiration and gratitude towards him.

And, you know, I'm pretty amazed that someone would marry a woman with four children.

The smallest was only like 18 months when they were married because mummy was pregnant when she was widowed.

So I feel admiration, gratitude for that man and just a sense of,

dying.

And I'd kind of grown up with it and got over it.

And as I said, kept going.

Grieving for my mother was just like being run over by a tank.

I just could not because now I'd got over all those things and I'd accepted the fact that one is able to grieve and all this.
