Sachys: my mate fran was in "Mrs. Henderson Presents..." and a few other things with Bob - apparently a really nice guy too. Didn't even appear to perve on anyone (even though most of the dancers were half naked). Quite impressed considering the Savillegate drama on other celebs.
grunthos64: In all seriousness, Bob Hoskins was a great character actor. Even in shit films he was perfect. His Odin was great in Son of Mask too for shits sake!
cool that you got a Friend who has been in the movies. Like as an extra? If not I want to see the IMDB page lol
shes a dance teacher now - but was previously a ballerina and tap / jazz / modern dancer. Mrs Henderson Presents is about a theatre in London during WW2 that didnt shut down (against orders) and eventually got bombed. True story - and actually worth a watch too.
my mate played one of the dancers in the film - only had a few lines, but a bunch of screen time. Oddly I already knew one of the lead actors, and through her got to know another... never got to meet bob though sadly. Always liked him since the "Singing Detective" days
Edit: and through my mate got to know another
