Sincere sympathy on the loss of your husband. Your work with animals is inspiring. You were a part of my early years in The Champions. I wish you all the very best.
From: Andrew Fowles (Fri 26th Apr 2013 at 21:47)
Alex, if I may call you that. All the very best wishes to you. I was a huge fan of the Champions and consider it part of my growing up. I am sorry to hear of your husbands passing way and hope you are managing your life. Please take care and if there is anything I can do (which I know sounds a little odd from someone you have never met) then say so. You were and are the best. Andrew

What a great and kind man. It was a pleasure to be at your wedding in 1980 and to be invited to several of Patrick's plays at the Chicheser Theatre. Our prayers and sympathy to you at this time

As native americans, we believe life doesn't end here.
It is like a stream, continues on it's journey.

Not the end, but the beginning.

Take care of yourself Miss Bastedo, and stay busy
Yours Truly,

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my wife last year. No one can truly understand fully what you are going through right now. Just try to concentrate on all of the good times you had together and the love you shared. That never dies.

Bonjour Alexandra Bastedo,

Ici au Canada, nous avons la chance de voir ou revoir la série ''Les champions'' sur Tou.Tv. J'aime beaucoup.

J'ai toujours bien aimé les séries britanniques de cette époque depuis mon enfance dans les années 1970.

Je passe sur votre site pour avoir l'honneur de vous saluer, madame.

Merci.
From: Stephen Capewell (Tue 11th Sep 2012 at 14:39)
Good afternoon Alexandra, I don't know how but your name came up in a conversation I had at the weekend with friends.
A question was asked 'when did you first begin to notice girls'. I replied whilst watching you in the champions.I thought after that I must see what happened to the person who had such an effect on me.
Now I see you have an animal sanctuary, still obviously perfect in every way.

kindest regards

Después de hace cuarenta años que vi tu programa de Los Campeones, aquí en la ciudad de Guadalajara, México, y por este medio he sabido de ti, aprovecho para felicitar tu trayectoria y tu altruismo con los animales. En realidad es triste no haber seguido tu carrera aquí en mi país. Enhorabuena una vez más.

Hola Alexandra: estaba leyendo tu historia y a mì me pasò lo mismo. Dos veces me operaron de cancer de mama, la primera en 2001, que fue parcial, y la otra en 2005, y fue una mastectomìa. Me siento compañera tuya en esto, las mujeres que lo pasamos
sabemos. Te deseo lo mejor. Siempre te admirè, desde Los Campeones, y ahora màs.
Te mando un saludo muy grande y mi cariño para siempre. Si estuvieras màs cerca irìa a visitar tu ABC para los animales. Yo adoptè un gato que no tenìa casa y un chica lo cuidò hasta que le econtrò un hogar, en este caso el mìo, y soy muy feliz con èl y tambièn mi hijo,èl le da mucho cariño y es una gran compañìa para nosotros. Sè que a veces ves a William Gaunt. Por favor, puedes darle mis saludos y decirle que le tengo mucho cariño tambièn. Te cuento que estoy haciendo un curso de actuaciòn. Siempre me gustò y aunque tengo 54 años,pienso que puedo hacer algo que me gusta todavìa. A ustedes los tomarè como ejemplo de excelentes actores y como personas tambièn. Los quiero mucho, cuìdense mucho.

Dear Alex, As a teenager, i had a crush on you in the TV series The Champions, and in fact you was my very first pin up as i remember you was wearing a C&A dress in the the TV Times, and i dont think that any woman past or present can beat you on beauty, you are still my most favourite........george X

Just finished watching the movie "DRAW".I can see why Miss Bastedo enjoyed making the picture, She gave a very good performance.
The interplay and banter between her character and Kirk Douglas was the best scenes.
I wonder did she enjoyed the costume, she wore, or it was chore to put it on everyday.
DRAW was a good take on the Classic Westerns!

Dear Ms Bastedo,

I was born in Liverpool, 1961, England. The Champions was my favorite tv series due to you!

I now teach and live in New York City, I was searching "tv series themes" which led my memory back to you.

I hope you are well and enjoying the fruits of life.

All the very best.

You were a role model with "the champions" as your coactors for me and you still are today: Quote: "animals do not care what you wear or if your hair are done" or something close to that...To me you are teachers of life and I benefit from it a lot.Thanks for sharing!Wish you the best of your dreams come true!

Good morning from Germany. I would like to inform you that the pictures arrived yesterday in perfect condition.
Thanks very much for the personal dedication.
They will find their place in my autograph album where you will have other famous names next to you.
While on the subject: Is it possible to find a picture of the 3 of you champs on a photograph and been signed by all 3 ?
Or maybe a visitor to this site could have a tip for me where i could look ?

To end my message, I would like to thank you for my wonderful viewing of The Champions and for all your work and passion in giving the animals a happy life.

Take a bow, Dame Alexandra.

As an owner of a cat who was abandoned by Hatton Cross tube station near Heathrow, it's great to see another site with such dedication to animal care.

Our two previous rescue cats gave us immense pleasure, despite being overlooked for so long simply because one was black and the other black and white.

Ironically, I found my way here, and to ABC, having just watched The Champions episode 'Shadow of the Panther' - one where Alexandra / Sharon gets rare centre stage. Plus Donald Sutherland no less.

As someone who also owned John d Green's 1967 photo book, Birds of Britain (until last month), it's no surprise to find Alexandra's inner beauty and kindness matches her outer.

Best wishes for every continued success treading the boards and for ABC.

Hi Alexandra,
So nice to find your site . I was a fan of The Champions . I seem to remember an episode set in The Australian Desert. It was rare to see an international tv show set in Australia in those days. I also remeber seeing 'Kashmiri Run' on late night tv.
Animal rescue is a noble lifestyle in this modern world. In fact my oldest daughter is involved with WIRES, one of Australias largest wildlife rescue organisations.
Nice to know that you are still out there and doing such good deeds

I am very happy that I can write you. I am argentine (from Argentina, in South America), I saw "The Champions" when I was
eleven years old, in 1969, and here I knew
you, and I was fascinated with the three of you. You were my model of girl, I wanted to be like you. You and the boys
of the serie made me very happy and I will
always say you THANKS. Then I studied English to understand you, and now I can
communicate with you. I wish you the most hapiness and you are a lovely person for what you do for the animals.
I love you !!!

From: Peter Mack (Thu 17th Feb 2011 at 20:13)
My 12 year son discovered the champions last year when the series was shown before school each morning on digital tv.
Needless to say he insisted I obtain all the episodes that were made.
Of course he loves it , as did I and my wife who would have seen the series re-runs in the 70's.

30 epsisodes in one series, those were the days! I wish we could re-capture those times.

I have tried him on other popular series from the 60's and apart from the munsters and bewitched, American of course, he's doesnt really enjoy the other British shows at all, well maybe a bit of the saint now and then.

He's blessed with good taste it seems.
And no prizes for guessing who his favourite champions character is.

Thank you Alexandra & we wish you and your ABC sanctuary all the best, we have made donations as animal lovers ourselves.

I watched the Champions when I was studying Engineering from 1972 - 1975 at the University of Michigan. The show was great, and I thought you were the classiest and best looking woman in the world. The show was great and I was bummed at the end of it's run. I hope all is well with your life. Thanks for that show and having a place for me to express these thoughts.

I fell for you in 1979 while watching The Aphrodite Inheritance when you were playing the role of Helenie, you performed the part so well, such beauty, mystery and fun.
I think you are still a very beautiful lady and you have a beautiful heart, the way you care for the ABC Animals.
From: Edward Freeman (Fri 17th Dec 2010 at 11:19)
Dear Alexandra,

I also grew up thinking you were wonderful in The Champions as I watched it regularly. It was an enjoyable and original show. One of the episodes that left a strong impression was about witchcraft in Cornwall. I saw it repeated recently on ITV 4. I also remember The Aphrodite Inheritance very fondly. You were perfect for that role, and the music was outstanding. It's great that you're now doing such excellent work for your animal sanctuary.

Here's to one of the most beautiful, classy actresses this country ever produced. I wish you much happiness and good health.

Love from Edward (in Cambridge).

Hi Alexandra
great to find this web site, as a young lad in the sixties watching your tv show on a sunday lunch time was the greatest thing on this earth and one of the best programms on tv at that time. Although tv programs have changed alot since then. I do miss them days where things seemed a lot simpler, as to day i`m celebrating my 50th birthday and watched one of your epesodies about all the crew on a sub being found dead, brought back a lot of memories. keep up the good work. great to know your all well .

Yes I agree that you would have made a wonderful Bond Girl and also would have been just great in the Avengers.You were and still are so beautiful but by also looking after the animals it shows that you have a real kind heart,will try and visit your animal sanctuary in the future !!

Always admired your work and loved The Champions as a young lad. My favourite episode was 'To Trap A Rat' with Kate O'Mara, we should see more of you both on television. My 'telly heaven' would be something like a Midsomer Murder or Marple episode with you, Annette Andre and Kate O'Mara starring as suspects.
Good luck to you with the animal sanctuary and thanks for some absolutely fab memories with many more hopefully to come!

I was abroad quite a lot when I was younger so did not remember the champions too much, but I remember you on - it was either a horse or a camel and I was bowled over on how gorgeous you were, it was either horse of the year show or something like that, anyways you still look great, I'm still jealous:)

From: Gordon (Fri 27th Aug 2010 at 00:32)
I have never been one for the adoration of "celebrity", however I remember as a four year old watching the champions, loving the programme and of course, being bowled over by Alexandras incredible beauty and screen presence. Recently I saw the champions on tv and was thrilled to feel the same way about the programme today, all these years on. Thank you for having such a wonderfully positive impact on such a small child, and thanks for the rekindled memories. Alexandra, you are one very special lady. Good luck with ABC, what a great cause to champion.

From: Andrew Tindale (Fri 20th Aug 2010 at 13:45)
Dear Alexandra, As an avid fan of The Champions, I get a regular fix not only from the re-runs but the entire DVD set which I recently treated myself too. Yes, the sets have aged and the cars are of an era long gone by but the fact remains, this was one of the most enigmatic TV ideas ever. The fan base, I'm sure is significant. At 50, I'm proud to be a member.

Is it at all possible that a modern-day cinematic film or TV serial could be made bringing the original cast back together for some cameo appearences? Sons and Daughters of the Champions perhaps?

I hope to visit your wonderful ABC Sanctuary with my children sometime very soon. You are to be congratulated for doing some magnificent work. Well Done!

Hi There,

I've been coming here for a while and have very much enjoyed reading the contents. Have signed the petition for Jeremy Brett as well. Also I love being an ABC friend, and will hope to make a greater contribution over the next few months. You do wonderful work Alex, long may it continue!

All the Best to you and yours!

Dear Alexandra,
I have only just discovered The Champions on DVD, even though I am now 59. I am enjoying this show very much, what a great trip back to the 60s. You were wonderful as Sharon, you were all great. I have not seen much of your career but I do have a DVD of Tibetana in which you were opposite Pernell Roberts,(my heart throb) and I envied you very much. You were no doubt saddened to hear of Pernell's passing last January. It is great to know that you are running an animal sanctuary, what a worthy cause. Very best wishes from Dale (female), from New Zealand.
From: Gareth (Thu 1st Apr 2010 at 07:32)
Hi there Alex. Great to see you have a sanctuary for animals, no small task either I should imagine but made up for by the satisfaction you get from it.
I used to watch The Champions repeats in the 80's ( I was 12ish then am 38 now) fantastic series and a fantastic concept at the time, I occasionally catch episodes currently being shown on ITV4. I am amazed that an updated version has not been made yet or even a reunion episode or both. Are there any plans for this at all do you know?
Keep up the good and hard work in all your endevours, you Champion :-)
From: Adrian (Thu 18th Mar 2010 at 13:38)
I remember being allowed to watch 'The Champions' in the late Sixties when I was still a litle boy. Is it really possible for a five year old to fall in love? Because I did, and still am!

Thanks,

Adrian

i was in conversation with some friends at work,i asked if they could remember a bbc programme from the 1970\'s wasn\'t sure about the title but knew it had aphrodite in the title.having looked on the net i discovered the full title,\"the aphrodite inheritence\".to try and cut the story short,i remember being 12 or so and seeing this very beautiful woman in the programme,this being one of my most memorable things about the programme and always will be.dear alexandra i see many pictures of you through various timespans except for more recently,having seen at least one,i feel it would be nice to see more on your site,you were and still are a very beautiful woman.it was nice to be able to express this view after many years,thanks and the best of luck in all you do especially the animal sanctuary,alan

Dear Alexandra
My name is Mario and I live in a small city to the South of Brazil.
Like you should already know, my native language is the Portuguese, and I still have some difficulty with your language, Therefore, forgive me for my eventual mistakes in English.
I have the picture of your site in the screen of my computer, I accompanied your career as actress, from the series \"The Champions.\" I had a true fascination for your beauty; It is Pity, that at that time, the Internet, and the possibility of interacting with an artistic celebrity would not exist,... was an impossible thing. Besides the Series \"The Champions\" I accompanied other works On that you acted at the movies.
Know that today with 54 years, I continue being your admirer and your fan; I have admiration for the people that go by this life and they leave your mark, they leave memorable things, and you left and it shone in the Series \"The Champions\" and it continues shining, only that in another stage of your life.
It is Pity that the internet still doesn\'t turn possible to give a hug to take a picture and to ask an autograph...., If it was possible I would ask with certainty.
Congratulations for everything that you did and you do until today...


Mario
From: Graham (Tue 2nd Feb 2010 at 16:02)
Just want to say that you are a fantastic lady and I cant watch enough of the Champions. You were all so good but the best one was when you all had to protect il cordijio, the iron man.
Thankyou for all your wonderful work on and off screen. You are an icon.

Well even at the age of eight years old I recognised beauty in the form of Ms Macready, back in the great sixties. Glad I was bought up in the photographic industry then. I can imagine those wonderful times especially with friends like Kate O\'Mara. I trust you all sink some vino together now and then! Best wishes for 2010 and I will hopefully visit on one of your open days in support of your excellent cause. Adam.

Alexandra

I have just found your website. When I was younger I watched The Champions on tv - it was my favourite. As far as I was concerned, Sharron was the most beautiful woman in the world, as well as being smart, intelligent and brave. I have been watching the series again recently and am still of the same opinion. I think your website is fantastic, especially the work you do with and for animals, makes me realise that you are not just beautiful, smart and intelligent like Sharron but caring, kind and compassionate too. I am so proud to be a fan and shall tell everyone I know that I still love The Champions and Sharron Mcready! Wishing you all the best for the future, I shall join your fan club soon.
From: john pugh (Fri 27th Nov 2009 at 19:43)
Hi Alexandra, I have just found your Web site, fantastic, and your work with animals. More people like yourself on this planet and the world would be perfect. I have to finish by saying you was and are beautiful, we will order your cards.
From: Ashley (Thu 26th Nov 2009 at 01:23)
Alexandra, I'm lost for words when I look back and remember your matchless beauty. I was a small boy of 4 when the Champions first appeared, but I still have those same feelings today when I see film or pictures of you from that time. Clearly, you are still very beautiful. Thank you for making the choice to go into television, rather than go to university. Im sure they couldnt teach you anything. Best regards. Ashley
From: Barrie Rees (Wed 25th Nov 2009 at 18:13)
Hi Alexandra, great to see your wonderful work with the animal sanctuary. My first introduction to you however, like many of your avid fans, was through “The Champions”. I had a huge crush on Sharon Macready as a very young boy (am now 48) and was very jealous of Craig Sterling and Richard Barrat :-). Keep up the great work you’re doing with the sanctuary. The site is great by the way. Take care. Kind regards, Barrie x

Hi Alexandra - I've been reliving my youth watching re-runs of The Champions,

It was a great series, all us boys loved it, one major reason was beautiful Sharon Macready.

Thank you for the opportunity to send you this grateful message. x

Hi,

Just saw one of the episodes of, 'The Champions,' on Sky this morning. Wow it takes me back.

This line is just to say, Jesus loves you. He's there in your joy and pain.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." [Jn 3:16-17]



Blessings,

Hi Alexandra.

My Mum was telling me she saw you on one of the Sky channel programmes - she thinks - a few months ago talking about your animal sanctuary and how you often raise your own capital to help animals in distress. She was very impressed with your work as indeed I am. You do marvellous work with your sanctuary.
I am also a lifelong fan of The Champions and other series you have guest starred in such as Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) and The Saint.

Cheers.
Dave.

Dear Alexandra, was casually watching re-runs of The Champions and decided to find out what you are doing now. I have been so moved by your work and story and have sent a donation to your project today as I know this is the thing that means most to you. You look so much like my beautiful dear sister in law who my brother, her sons, mother and I lost to breast cancer a few years ago. You sound so wonderfully brave and a wonderful girl. All support and thoughts to you.

Like everyone else I had my first crush
on you only 6yrs old but I remember kissing the screen whenever you appeared, I did receive some sort of fuzzy electric shock at the same time but it was worth it. You still look fantastic, great work with the sanctuary I have made a few donations.

Hi, just to say how much i admire what you have done with your life. Iwatched Champions as a little girl and would nag my mum to do my hair like yours and one day she came home from the hairdressers with your hair! I was so impressed as she was then what we now call a yummy mummy! and i loved it when she took me to school dressed and coiffed like you so trendy. My son is now watching the reruns on ITV 4, at last watching quality, that and The Saint. he thinks you are well fit and look well fit now after showing me your website...he is 16 so hot is really cool lol. Wishing you well and success with your ventures. We only rehomed a dog, a weimerhaner so you make me very jealous, i would love to have loads of babies to care for.

Hi Alexandra,
I\'ve just been watching an episode of The Champions. I recently re-discovered the series on sky after watching it every week as a youngster. I had a crush on you then, but I didn\'t realise how good the three of you were, and my crush has been rekindled! You were fantastic then and now I\'ve discovered what a caring person you are it\'s even better. Well done for your work with animals (I have a cat called Gizmo). I\'ll be donating immediately and hoping that you keep well. Lots of love and good wishes,

Ian.

Quality of the video is rubbish but ahhh the memories are still there.

Dear Alexandra,

I have recently been watching re-runs of The Champions on T.V. because, as an eight year old boy (1968) I fell in love with a woman who wasn't my mum!
Then, this week whilst flicking through the Daily Mail I couldn't believe my eyes! There was your story! I am really sorry to hear about your health problems in the past and I am relieved to hear that it IS in the past. Just wish I'd known about you auctioning the old Pirelli calender which featured you.
Just wanted to say that you are one of the most beautiful women to walk the earth and looking at you now still gives me goose bumps. There aren't many women that can do that to me!
All the best with your animal charity and good luck for your future happiness.
With love from Clive. XXX

the champions was the best thing on tv exciting innovative action adventure with smart storylines exotic locations and high standard of acting i always liked the bit at the begging when the two guys throw a weight to each other as they all had incredible physical powers like to see it remade with alexandria of course still a beautiful woman.
From: Mark (Mon 20th Jul 2009 at 19:23)
Hi Alex,
I just wanted to say I have been a Alexandra Bastedo fan since 1968. At the age of seven years old, I think the benchmark had been set of what I thought a beautiful women should be like. In some ways we have had one thing in common, for the past 27 years I have worked as a Medical Professional rescuing people and you rescuing animals.I'm sure the animals are far more appreciative.Any way if you wondered who the guy was with the Nikon camera and the telephoto lens at West Chiltington fete last Saturday.It was not the paparazzi it was me, just wished I had plucked up the courage to say hello!!! however did donate to your charity.
God bless and keep up the good work.
Best wishes,
Mark.

Recently bought DVD boxed set of the Champions and still think the same. Great to see you've still kept those incredible looks and that you are clearly as lovely in person as you look.

From: Mike Trotman (Tue 9th Jun 2009 at 09:50)
I thoroughly enjoyed the visit to your ABC sanctuary open day on Saturday.

West Chiltington is a beautiful setting.

During 30 years you must have cared for hundreds of animals and I hope you can continue for many more years (even if it is not another 30!).

My wife and I have cared for several rescued cats and greyhounds over the years and it always gladdens the heart to see animals being cared for.

I look forward to bringing friends to further open-days if you can arrange them.

I have become an 'ABC Friend' and will follow the reports on the animals with interest.

Hello Alexandra, Just could not resist looking you up on the internet after watching an episode of the Champions on Sky. I was pleasantly suprised that you are fullfilling a life times dream and still looking as gorgeous as ever. I'm no doubt one of thousands of fans who have done just the same thing, as I have just noticed a few who have sent you messages of appreciation. I would like to add to the growing list and thankyou for the years of wonderful screen and TV appearences, The Champions was also my favorite show way back in the late 60's and early 70's.Good luck on your continued quest of looking after the animals. I hope to pop in and see the sanctuary with my wife and 12 year old son when we are on holiday later on in the year.

Hi Alexandra, I 2 was a fan of the champions, & I was struck on how beautiful you are. I am also a fan of your friend Mike Tomkie & that was how I found out about your sanctuary. Although i had read your book a few years ago I'd forgotten about it. So I looked you up on the net & found this site. Anyway, I'm now a friend of ABC& wish you all the best, especially now, as I know things have been difficult. Carry on with the good work as Its a special gift to have an affinity with animals!
From: Jim Whalley (Sat 21st Mar 2009 at 20:04)
Dear Alexandra, I think that someone who devotes so much time with animals and their welfare,are a kind and considerate special person and you certainly are a champion of champions. If I can get to your open day I'd love to meet you.
Kind regards Jim

hello dear Sheron of my dreams in 1968... when I was only 13 yrs old.
I believe many boys around my age now, used to be in love for Sheron , and I can not say the same now because we know you are mrs. Alexandra Bastedo and we dont have rights to express our feeling for you here... even myself, but, I cant avoid to say...I still love my sweet Sheron and all the sweetness she used to have on the Champions

Hi Alexandra
Great to see you still looking good after all these years.I was only 7 and 8 years old when The Champions was first shown on tv and I saw every episode and bought the Annual.
It was good to see you a year later in an episode of Randall and Hopkirk.
From: Colin (Mon 9th Feb 2009 at 12:32)
Hi Alexandra,
Have enjoyed watching you in the Champions since being at school. A friend and I also went to Nottingham, to see you in \" Don\'t just lay there, say something \" It\'s great to see the Champions being shown again.

My hubby and I watch an episode of the Champions the other day. We were both fans and thought we would look you up to see what you\'ve been doing.
Great to see you well and looking great as ever.

Hi Alexandra,
I'm another of the overly mature 10 year olds who fell in love with you in the Champions! You're still looking fabulous. What a wonderful, unique quality you brought to the screen. My wife was a great fan too- she wanted to be you, of course!
Best wishes for your charitable work,
Garry

Hi Alexandra,

I hope you are well.

You have an excellent website.

I am huge fan of The Champions, and have been watching the repats on itv4.

I recently acquired the Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) DVD boxset and was delighted to see you in an episode I watched this afternoon!

By the way, I run an unofficial website which is dedicated to Elstree Studios (entitled Elstree Calling), where you made The Champions.

It has been great to read all about your life and work on here. I will add your link to my website!

Best wishes

Wow. I remember The Champions as my fave programme as a child growing up, & you in particular for some reason. Lovely to hear that you're alive and well, active (missed you in Eastenders) and as stunning as ever: the pedestal I put you on as a young boy still fits! You prove what exquisite taste I had even back then...
From: David Reynolds (Fri 23rd Jan 2009 at 20:45)
Dear Alexandra,
Your natural beauty captivated me when I was younger, as it still does now, you are, I think, the most beautiful woman Ever to grace our screen.
Good luck with everything you do in the future, especially with you animal sanctuary.
From: Richard J Cappuccio (Sun 18th Jan 2009 at 20:12)
Happy to say a quick Hello!
Hope all is well with you!
May your animal sanctuary continue to do great work!
Became a Fan of The Champions this past year & have joined the Fan Club!
Enjoy a Happy & Healthy 2009!
Will correspond throughout this year to stay in touch with you!
From: Melvyn Parfect (Sun 18th Jan 2009 at 17:30)
Hi,
I think what you are doing is great.Pity I live so far a way in Huntingdon, otherwise I would like to help you with the animals. Keep up the good work Alex.


Yours,

Melvyn.

Just found this site after watching \\\\\\\"The Champions\\\\\\\" on TV again recently, and I always though you were gorgeous, and still are!

Those old TV shows show there age a bit now but they are still entertaining compared with the new stuff on the box, sooner watch them than big brother and other dummed down reality shows.

Hmm maybe I might get myself a calendar one day...not for the dates for the photos!
From: patrick Neumann (Fri 16th Jan 2009 at 10:38)
Hi there Alex just dropping by to say happy 2009 and hope you have a great year ahead...They have started to show the champions on ITV during weekday mornings and i just thaught of you for a minute...

Dear Alexandra

I have fond memories of "The Champions" Tv series, (revived by recently purchasing the set on DVD) and now that I have discovered your website perhaps I can find copies of other films in which you appeared.

Good luck with the animal work!

Hello Alexandra. Whilst back in UK for the festive season I watched Eastenders! Wow what a surprise! Brought back boyhood memories of you in the Champions
Fantastic to see you on TV again

I hope you have a great 2009!
From: HILTON DAVIS (Sat 3rd Jan 2009 at 14:16)
Hi Alexandra... Due to recently breaking my ankle, I'm spending lots of time watching TV and have re-discovered "The Champions" that I recall from its original run! Hence found your website. Great to read about your on-going active life and sterling work for animals, which is commendable.

Best wishes for continued success and good health in 2009. With Regards.
From: Kat (Thu 1st Jan 2009 at 12:37)
Hi I didn\'t no you are in Eastenders I might have to start watching it now, A very Happy New year to you all.
From: Graham (Tue 23rd Dec 2008 at 21:24)
Hello Alexandra,love your website and i'll definetly be purchasing a signed photo or two after Christmas.I recently bought The Champions dvd box set and it was marvelous hearing your commentry and seeing the re-union documentry,but,you have an illustrious career besides and i admire your work with looking after the animals,god bless and merry Christmas.
From: Selwyn Powell (Tue 23rd Dec 2008 at 13:28)
Hello Alexandra, been away from the TV for few months and just discovered that you are now in Eastenders so I have to start watching this again because you are a wonderful actress and the most beautiful woman I have ever met, yes we did meet once at Grosvenor house.. Have a wonderful Christmas.. thanks for all the memories with Champions
From: Christina Greene (Mon 22nd Dec 2008 at 14:56)
Hello Alexandra, I came across your website because I love 1960's spy tv shows!! I am inspired by you because I am also an animal lover!! I would like to make some donations to your cause in 2009 & would love to be involved somehow in your work!! I would like to be of some assistance. Thank you for all that you do you are an inspiration all over the world, & I am spreading the word! Christina.
From: alexandra (Sat 6th Dec 2008 at 23:40)
Hi Alexandra! I have to admit I was quite ignorant before today about who you actually were, until my Dad finally admitted that I was named after an actress from the TV series The Champions! He said that him and his friend had a deal that whoever had a daughter first they could name her after you.. and from what I’ve seen I’m highly honoured! and I'm also quite fond of the name so thanks! Yours faithfully, Alexandra II! :)

Just tuned in to \\\"The Champions\\\" and noticed the crush or my younger days Alexandra and checked out this website to see what your up to! You should go on \\\"im a celebrity\\\" one of the few people i would vote for! Your fan always ! Alan x

Hi,

I saw The Champions in french in the 60s. I was addicted. For the first time today, I saw it in color with original voice.... Wow
From: Nick (Fri 14th Nov 2008 at 09:48)
Hi,
Currently watching The Champions on ITV4, good entertainment even today. Well done on all the work at the animal sanctuary. It must be wonderful to be able to do a job you really enjoy and get so much satisfaction from.

Hi alexandra, I am currently watching the series of the champions on sky television.I can say that I am enjoying it as much as the first time I viewed it as a younger person. You were a role model for myself regarding women being in control of their own lives and being in a mostly masculine world,at the time. I feel the program was ahead of its time, in its subject content and the role of women

Hello Sharon Mcrady
I was born in 1966 in BANGKOK,THAILAND,about 2 years after your series\'s first launch in U.S.A. ,but lucky enough to had a chance to watched \"The Champion\"on black and white television with my family(our favorite program),at that time,I did not understand much about the story.One thing I can remember is \"Sharon\" is very pretty!and want to have girl friend look like this when i grow up(I was 5 or 6 years old back then)The way you posted in beginning title is pretty cool.
Recently,I happened to see your reunion with Craig and Richard (Name in the series)You still look great even this age.
Wish you stay beauty,healthy and live long.
Hope you have a chance to read this message by yourselve.

Thank you for giving us something timeless and wonderful to escape form the ever darkening woes of the world. You are a joy to watch, and are so, so beautiful. You have fans here in little Luxembourg!

Hello Alexandra
Have a lot of time and respect for you, as an actress, person and your work with the animal sanctuary.
It's a great pity more people are'nt as caring about our animal friends as you are. I abhor cruelty to animals and get very upset and angry when I read about it.
I would like to offer you my full support in your work and will be purchasing from your website in the very near future!

I was 10 years old when the Champions was first aired and have downloaded the first 8 episodes from the Apple Store...what a delight. At 10 you were my dream girl in fact I have an aunt who until recently stayed outside Geneva and my first trip to Switzerland was 1972. Just out of interest was Nemesis filmed in an office in Geneva or was the Geneva background a photograph. I was so pleased to see what you are doing now... rescuing animals. As part of my sideline I photograph dogs and have 2 dogs, one rescue dog called Tiger (12) and one 3 year old farm collie called Flori. All the dog owners in my local park have asked me to make a 2009 calendar and it\'s mainly full of rescue dogs, we hope to sell them to give money to the SSPCA but I will also tell them about your sanctuary and hopefully send you a donation as well. Keep up the good work lots of love and kisses...Philip
From: Dale MacLeod (Fri 26th Sep 2008 at 03:56)
Dear Alexandra, I send sincere greetings from New Zealand. I have been very late to discover you since I never saw The Champions and I have only seen you in one film, Kashmiri Run with Pernell Roberts (my fave actor). I am very impressed with your commitment to animals, best wishes for your animal project and your continuing career. Dale.

It sounds like a spanish person swearing in english..Bastedo. But oh Alexandra, what beauty and elegance you brought to our screens 40 years ago when "The Champions" first began. Now in 2008 you are doing it again in "Eastenders". Patrick Garland was a lucky man to have you marry him. Some guys have all the luck, as the song goes. (Robert Palmer in case you were wondering who sang it.) Mostly now it is the turn of the animals to benefit from your kindness. The overrding inpression I get from your website is one of a woman who is very grounded and has never taken her celebrity too seriously. Unlike many other famos people. So keep up the good work at the sanctuary and never turn down any v roles as I personally cant see enough of you on the small screen.
From: Matthew J. Adams (Fri 12th Sep 2008 at 01:16)
I never tire of watching the champions repeats. The opening scenes and soundtrack always take me back to when I first saw it as a five/six year old in my pyjamas and dressing gown ready for bed and begging my late Mum to let me stop up and watch it. Needless to say, you were always my favourite; I may have been only five years old but I was as captivated by your beauty then as I am now although my little sister always prefered Stuart Damon - for similar reasons no doubt.
Best wishes to you and all your animals and keep up the good work, Matt.

Good day Alexandra

I had the pleasure of meeting you in 1983 in Drumheller, Alberta where you were filming the Movie " Draw " with Kirk Douglas and James Coburn.

We have several wonderful photographs taken with my son Scott-now 30 years old.

This tour down memory lane and seeing all of your work related projects and photographs, current and up do date were very special.

We look forward to seeing more of your work. Any chance you again film in western Canada?

We still have the scrapbook of your press clippings and letters.

regards,

Rene Jaspar

Just watching The Champions re-runs on ITV and it brought back such fond memories of when I was a kid in the sixties and how much I looked forwards to tuning in once a week. What a series this was and still is !!
From: Julie earl (Sat 30th Aug 2008 at 16:20)
You are indeed a beautiful and gracious lady and as I noticed in your recent performances on eastenders, still a bloody good actress.
