Eleven years of age may be a little young to join the Navy, but try telling that to George Fauntleroy. He's joined the Sea Cadets, which is a U.S. Navy program for people age 10 to 18, explains Lesley-Anne. Although the youngster dons a uniform, learms about the military firearms and knows how to make a bed with perfect hospital corners, Lesley-Anne doesn't have to worry that her little boy is growing too fast. He's already been to boot camp for a week down at the naval base in Coronado, CA. But they ended up breaking protocol 24 hours after he was there. It seems that George had come down with a serious case of missing his mama! My husband and I thought we were going to have this lovely, romantic week ourselves, I don't think so, Lesley-Anne laughs. After I put the phone down, we were crying because the kid was crying. Romance really went out the window. So entrenched has Lesley-Anne become in her son's newest extracurricular activity that now she, too, volenteers for the cadets one weekend a month. After all, isn't that what moms do? I don't know how I got involved in all this, but I am. I'm in deep training with the Navy!

Forget scouring pepper plants to help spice up Lesley-Anne's food: She'd prefer if you'd just go straight to the depths of hell and get some real fire! I love spicy. Pour chilies on my food, and I'm happy! Lesley-Anne grins. I love Indian food, as long as it's hot. But I find it to be very boring if it's not hot, so when I order Indian food, I order it Phal, and most people look at you like you're mad. Um, yeah, considering Phal is a curry that was invented to satisfy customers'whishes to eat the spiciest dish possible! Still, it's Lesley-Anne's favorite. It's rare that anybody actually brings out a Phal, she says. I really love it hot and spicy!

Jackie's stint in jail was certainly no laughing matter, but that didn't stop Lesley-Anne and some of her co-stars from giggling uncontrollably during her character's bail hearing scene. The prosecutor had to say Uruguay, and she pronounced it Urug-way and it made me laugh, says Lesley-Anne, who thought the more appropriate pronunciation was Urug-why. By the time Lesley-Anne was finished debating the matter with her fellow actors and the show's supervising producer, everyone on the set was laughing. From that moment on, it was like a tickle bone, Lesley-Anne says. The scene kept going wrong and every time we had to do it again, we had to start over at the line about Uruguay. So it got worse and worse. Although Lesley-Anne admits that she couldn't control her giggles, she managed to make it through the scene. At one point, I just put my hands to my face and pretneded I was crying, because I was laughing so badly

If you were surprised to see Jackie take a liking to Owen Knight, perhaps you've forgotten how she once bedded younger-man Deacon Sharpe and got sexy doctor Mark MacLaine all hot and bothered. I think she needs a younger guy, says Lesley-Anne. The only older guy for Jackie is Eric, and because of that, every other man in her life should be somebody who is more of a plaything. That's not to say Jackie doesn't has real feelings for her boy toys. I think she loved Deacon-I do, says Lesley-Anne. And I don't see why there's any reason why she shouldn't go for someone younger. She really needs a guy! As for whether Eric Forrester could ever be a vialable contender for Jackie's heart. Lesley-Anne thinks for now she's probably better as a corporate rival than a romantic partner. Lesley-Anne grins, I think Eric needs punishment before she would ever reconsider him again.

Wherever you go, there you are. That's the motto Lesley-Anne takes to heart when it comes to raising her kids. Although it's often been said Los Angeles is a tough city in which to rear a child, Lesley-Anne thinks maybe that's not true. I think it's hard to raise a kid anywhere, she says. When you turn on the news and see horrible things happening in schools with students opening fire, it's always in a place you would think would be ideal for raising a family. In fact, Lesley-Anne can't help but wonder if ennui is the biggest enemy to child-rearing. I almost think someplace cosmopolitan, someplace that's more city-ish and exciting would be a better place to raise a teenager, says Lesley-Anne. There's so much more to do that they're not so tempted to get in trouble. Quite honestly, I htink boredom is what gets children into trouble.

The subway bombings in her native London a couple of years ago left Lesley-Anne of the opinion that tighter security has become a very necessary inconvenience in this day and age. I'm sorry, but I'm not one of those people who agrees with all this 'personal privacy' anymore, Lesley-Anne notes. We don't live in that world, we don't have the ability to have that. Citing the many cameras installed around London, Lesley-Anne thinks this sort of technology makes common sense. We had cameras and that's why we caught those guys. In London authorities are allowed to stop people for a search just because they fancy it. Would I like to be searched? Probably ot, but if you have never done anything wrong then I guess you shouldn't have too much to worry about. That's just the world we live in, I'm afraid.

Lesley-Anne has had to undress to practically nothing whenever her alter ego sees fit to draw a bubble bath, but her scantily clad scenes on The Bold and The Beautiful still don't compare to the 'nude' scene she did in her early 20s. I did full-frontal nudity on British television when I was 23, Lesley-Anne explains. It sounds worse than it is, actually. For the role, in which she played iconic British fan dancer Phyllis Dixey, Lesley-Anne appeared to be in her birthday suit, when actually, strategically placed pieces of tape kept her privates, well, private. You couldn't really see anything, Lesley-Anne notes. It was sort of like being a hermaphrodite. All I can remember about filming that scene was that it was freezing!

Lesley-Anne (while playing Olivia on Sunset Beach) stepped out of her dressing room a bit groggy. I was just meditating a bit, Lesley-Anne explains. It rejuvenates me. Lesley-Anne in perfect hair and makeup, had not started to work. By the time I get to the studio, I'm ready for bed. At present, Lesley-Anne has remodeling going on at home, and her husband, Don FauntLeRoy, is away making a movie. His absence creates a different schedule for Lesley-Anne, who has quite a houseful, not even counting the workmen. Lesley-Anne has four dogs, two big ones, two little ones, all mutts Lesley-Anne says. One deaf one, one ugly one, one fat one and one hound dog. They're all darling! Lesley-Anne gets up 30 minutes earlier than usual because the little ones won't eat anything but bacon for breakfast. The two kids currently at home are stepdaughter Julianna and Jack. They can get their own breakfast. The eldest, Season, lives with her mom. At the end of the day, Lesley-Anne arrives home to the howling of her dogs wanting to be walked, and then she prepares the little dogs evening meal of pork strips. I would love to say I'm Superwoman, but I'm feeling like Knackered Woman! Ready for the knackers.

Lesley-Anne was in for a rude awakening when she bought a ticket for her first Amtrak train ride years ago for a journey from Louisiana to South Carolina. I'm thinking the Orient Express, so I packed some cocktail dresses, Lesley-Anne recalls. I got into my first class cabin and I'm thinking, Well, this isn't quite the Orient Express is it? Only when Lesley-Anne tried to use the lavatory in her compartment did she realize that traveling by rail in America didn't include five-star amenities. In htis little bathroom area, I pressed the button that says 'flush', but above it, it also said 'water'. Unbeknowst to me, this little room was a bathroom and shower in one, so when I pressed the button, the shower started! By the time Lesley-Anne emerged from the lavatory, her diginity had somehow managed to spiral down the drain. I was absolutely dripping wet and I just said, Well, that was a really interesting pee.

Sometimes, simply hearing a song from your teenage years can launch you right back into that youthful mindset. At least, that's what happens to Lesley-Anne whenever she takes a trip to the grocery store at her local market. My little market. I went there recently and I was really bopping about, says Lesley-Anne. I thought, What's going on? Then I realized they had changed the music. With early 70s classic rock tunes by the likes of Led Zeppelin and The Doors playing in the store, Lesley-Anne says she suddenly feltt like an exuberant adolescent again. I said, Who switched this music? I love it! Turn it up and light some incense! It only goes to show how much music can have an effect on our daily lives, notes Lesley-Anne. It's such fun in that little market now. If you listen to the music you listened to when you were young, it gives you such energy and it really does make you happy.

 
Over there PDF Print E-mail


Lesley-Anne is accustomed to B&B's overseas success, but it's not her first taste of being part of an international soap sentation. Sunset Beach was huge overseas, she says of her previous stint in daytime. In our first year-and-a-half, we were airing in countries all over the world, and our ratings in England in particular, were unbelievable. In Britain, the Spelling-produced soap took a cult status, and marathon shwoings were aired in certain days so that fans could watch back-to-back episodes. Lesley-Anne was naturally called upon to hel promote Sunset Beach on her home turf. These really highbrow magazines and newspapers wanted to interview me, Lesley-Anne says. I would be like Uh..it's a soap opera. Shouldn't it be in the Daily Mirror? But they'd be like, No, The Times and The Guardian want to interview you. Guess even the cultural elite of London like their fair share of campy drama, too!
