Just devoured this at one sitting. Writing a life of Jacqueline Hill is a challenge for a biographer. Most of her TV work is unpreserved, she died relatively young, she never quite acquired the status her talent deserved, she had an unhappy childhood she wanted to forget. pic.twitter.com/f5imFNZwbr

But @lx_bremner negotiates the gaps & the ghost texts to make this story something inspiring - the girl from the chocolate factory who made it to RADA. It’s like a parallel story to Billy Liar, except truthfulness was Hill’s defining quality - from Dr Who to the cancer ward.

I’ve always been interested in what you might call “ordinary” women’s lives, but her experiences kind of bridged the ordinary and the exceptional. And also, there were so many mysterious or half-forgotten elements to her story that I was drawn to the process of shining a bit of light into those shadows: everything from exactly what happened to her parents, to the details of her early television career.(less)
