Noo!
My best friend went to her 'show' last year. It was in a pub in London somewhere. It was along the lines of 'An Audience With...' type thing. Apparently she was just telling stories about her life and looking and sounding really frail and strange. My friend told me Fenella had some bloke with her - much younger than her - who was supposed to be her biographer-cum-manager. Every time an audience member asked Fenella for a comment or anecdote about an actor she'd worked with, or a film she'd been in, her 'manager' would swoop in to stop her answering, saying it was being saved for the forthcoming book. In the end FF didn't end up talking about anything remotely interesting, just a load of waffle about how Fellini had wanted to make her his muse.
Then afterwards my friend caught sight of FF and her manager canoodling.
My friend said it was the most bizarre evening she's ever spent, and her career had been in Fashion, so I reckon that's saying something.

“Husky” voice, strange but kinda sexy on. A young FF. she made a good living out of it.

My other half saw that show Nursey at The Phoenix Bar in Charing Cross Rd. Apparently this fella was originally her pillattes partner, I’m sure he got her into a few awkward positions...

Why would anyone need a cum manager?

Actually, rereading that Nurse, if that show was last year then it was just before Fenella Fielding turned 90! Fuck me!
What was he, 83?

Is Noel Fielding from the same family? He looks a bit like her.

Probably not as Fielding was her stage name, real name Fenella Feldman.

Fenella was responsible for one of my first confusions as to why my willy was suddenly doubling in size. The other was the blonde in The Beverley Hillbillies.
