I am a big fan and am ninety three years old and have not seen you on the television for years and there is one thing that I would love to know. When are you going to be back on the television?
Please can I have a signed photograph of you because I love photographs and I would love a photograph of you because I haven’t got one of you and I collect photographs but not of you because I haven’t got any just of things like birds and buildings on fire. If you send me a photograph it will make me really happy because I am ninety three.
I would love to see you singing with Russ Abbot again, it made me laugh. There is not much on television for people like me who are ninety three. Can I have a signed photograph of you because it would make an old man like me very happy.

Many Thanks

Love from Leigh

P.S I will be ninety four next birthday. I’m not married.

I felt awful when Bella sent back such a nice letter…

Dear Leigh

Thank you so much for your lovely letter. Please find enclosed a signed photograph just for you.

Russ’ career has changed, he wants to do other things!! All I can say is that I had 18 years as one of his supports. We had a lot of fun but it was very hard work too.

Our sense of humour and comedy is a bit ‘old hat’ at the moment. It will come back but not in my life span.

I have just finished working with Basil Brush and I had a ‘ball’. Custard pies everywhere. I had a whale of a time. It should be out (the first episode) in September B.B.C.T.V. at 4.30 p.m. I’d love to do more of these.

I think the only way of seeing Russ and I singing would be repeats only.

Keep Well

With lots of love from

Bella Emberg

I LOVE HER! More so because she sent her letter in a little envelope with a note on for the postman that says: Please do not bend, photograph, Many Thanks. and inside she had toughened the envelope with a piece of card that she had cut out from the back of a pack of Easter Cards. God Bless Her!
