Photo Of The Month - February 2013
| ||||||||||
As this is the first in what is planned to be a series of monthly photos - each selected by Alexandra with her giving a little background information to each photo - we have given you a bonus by posting four photos. Each one of these photos, and the portrait, is connected to 'The Candy Web' and her introducton to a life of films, TV and Stage work.

Alexandra writes: The film itself mainly involved a lot of screaming but it brought me to the attention of top agents and I was offered a part on the Donna Reed Show and in Alfred Hitchcocks "Girl with Blue Jeans". At the time I was very upset to be flown back home and sent back to school - under threat of expulsion if I took any more time out - but in retrospect mother was right. She said she could not leave me there alone and there was my brother and sister to consider. But it was an extraordinary experience for a young schoolgirl and took me away from my ambition to be a vet into the world of acting". Alexandra Bastedo
