A fantastic read. Stephanie Cole is one of my favorite British actress. Loved her in Waiting for God, and she does the voice of my favorite character on the hilarious radio series, Cabin Pressure.

It was peer joy, to read her autobiography. It was a very interesting and fun read that had a lot of inspiring moments through out. This was written a few years ago, around 1999. It would be really amazing, to read the next chapter in her life to see, what has changed for her and, what her thoughts are on her career now.
