Di is our host for Share Your World every Monday. This week we have some questions about entertainment.

1.   Do you have a favourite movie?

Not just one. Over the years there have been several movies I’ve liked a lot. “The Big Chill” is one that I love, “The Blues Brothers” is another and “The Commitments”. I really liked “The Russia House” too although I haven’t watched it in a long time.

2.  Who is you favourite actor and actress?

Again it’s hard to say. I think my favourite actress from the golden years of Hollywood is Katharine Hepburn. I always admired her. I don’t really watch movies a lot, especially modern movies so the actors I like tend to be more from TV shows. In recent times my favourite actor is David Tennant. I have seen a lot of his work, not just Doctor Who.

3.   Do you attend or have you ever attended a live theatre production?

I love going to the theatre although I haven’t been for a few years now. Not much opportunity when you live in the country. When I was a child my aunt was involved with amateur dramatics and the family would go to watch the productions she was in. Most were musicals like “South Pacific”, “Oklahoma” and “Carousel” to mention a few. Sometimes we’d even be taken along to Sunday dress rehearsals to watch. I think this gave me an interest in the theatre. Naomi and I went to several live theatre productions in Adelaide when we were younger We saw “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” a couple of times, “Noises Off”, “High Society” “Evita” and others whose names I don’t remember now. We have been to the theatre in Hobart a couple of times. the last time to see the Australian version of “The Mousetrap”.

4.   Have you ever wanted to be an actor/actress?

No. Although I enjoyed seeing the shows when I was a child I never wanted to appear in one. My cousins all did but I was extremely shy and didn’t like the idea of putting myself out there in that way. I would have probably enjoyed doing something backstage although I don’t know what I would have done.

I looked around for a meme to share this week and I like this one.
