I have just read the blog at the address above about Lilli Palmer and Carlos Thompson. I used to work for them when they lived in the South of France. It brought back many lovely memories of that time, as they were charming and very amusing! Lovely people that I still think about often.
Such a sad end for her husband ( which I did not know about). As time went by there was less contact as I had moved to Ireland, although 'Our Lilli' as Carlos and myself would call her, contacted me to ask me to work for her in Switzerland as her secretary and to travel with her. She was writing books at that time so it would have been easy for me to type, as that was my training. Unfortunately I was brought up to follow my husband, (things have changed a lot since then.) so even though she offered to let my husband come too (he is a french chef) he did not want to go, so that was that!
But Lilli Palmer has always been a part of my fond memories, and always will be.
