Second Star on the Right: Joanna Lumley

I don't think I've ever mentioned Joanna Lumley on The Film Experience pages. I've liked her in movies on occassion and of course she was regularly LOL-worthy as oversexed overboozed "Patsy" in AbFab back in the day. But I would like to formally apologize right at this moment for her absence on TFE because her latest move has won my heart several times over.
She's currently lending her celebrity to raise funds to turn Moat Brae in Dumfries, the inspirational birthplace (of sorts) for J.M. Barrie's immortal Peter Pan, into a children's literature center. He claims his time there was among the happiest in his life.
I want to help raise the profile of this admirable project so that Peter Pan fans from all over the world can support this wonderful restoration."
Honestly that is SO fitting and such a worthy cause and now I just want to hug her. If I had plenty of £ I would throw it like fairy dust at this project.
Joanna Lumley, Peter Pan, Scotland, books

Yes, she's awesome. I've used her "yeah. cheers. thanks a lot" line from AbFab about gazillion times.
Also, her version of Christine Baranski's Does Your Mother Know-"dance" in French & Saunders' Mamma Mia parody is priceless.
I LOVE her haha. Can you believe she is 65? Crazy right? Those parodies are too good, she is in the Titanic parody too - absolutely hilarious!
