Introducing Miss Lydia Wilson (I know her!)

Lydia Wilson. Remember that name everybody. When you hear about her becoming the biggest star of the London stage, or see her in a movie, you will all hear the story about the time I came to London and lived with her in her house and watched her star in her first public play at RADA. Lydia is another Provincetown vacationer who I have grown up with and watched become the most fantastic actress I have ever known in the flesh. I am not just boasting her acting abilities because she is my friend, but because she is actually an incredible actress. Lydia is in her third and final year at the most prestigious acting school in the world, RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art). Still don’t believe that she is something special? RADA only accepts about 30 students out of thousands of applicants every year. So not only was Lydia accepted into the school, but in her first play open to the public, she was given the lead roll (hey lydz, I love you!).



This past week I have seen the show twice. The play was called Villette which is a Charlotte Bronte novel. Lydia played the character of Lucy Snow who seems to be trapped in a world that is half reality and common sense, and half fiction and dreams. Watching Lydia in the play the first time, I suddenly realized that I had no idea what was going on in the play, because I had spent the entirety of the first half only watching the star (my friend.. Who I lived with in London.. Who I see every year in Provincetown. Did I mention that we go way back?). I realized that it was hopeless to try and pick up on the story line after that, so I had to go back and see the play again.

Congratulations Lydia on an amazing performance, and I can't wait to follow your career as the star I know you will become!

Thanks angel, but I think I hate myself now! In the spirit of mutual appreciation...I am a HUGE fan of JOjo's work on her tv show. If anyone hasn't seen it, check out her complete star turn. I'm serious, it's total perfection of characterisation and presentational skill...when you know Jojo you'll see what a cunning little transformation she's made in coming up with her onscreen persona, Love it! Love youXX

For the first time ever the other night I sat through an episode of Midsomer Murders, as I was round my grandad's house and he loves his evening murder mysteries, so I had no choice. But... after my first thought of, "I hope someone calls me and asks if I fancy going out for a pint," I soon found myself completely enchanted by the beauty of the star's star. And no, I don't mean the detective. A truly magical performance, and a powerful on-screen presence. I wish Lydia the best of luck and am sure she'll become a familiar face soon.

*should have read "episode's star" not "star's star". Obviously.

I too saw the Midsomer Murders 6th October episode and was so impressed I had to do a search on this lovely young actress to-day. I shall look forward to seeing more of her and wish her well in her career.

I love Lydia's work.. she is a great actress and a charming one at that.

I am a budding novelist and I am writing a novel about a young Queen in Ancient Greece.... When I publish it I also want to turn into a movie and I would like to cast Lydia in the title role.

I don't know if it will ever happen, but it is something to aspire to.

Thank you for introducing Lydia.

Great point C. August. I feel men and women need to remember
the Leangains strategy will not mean paleo method.
The way I interpret Leangains is that it's for someone who is wanting to get their physique to the next level. I consider it is fair to say that someone who is overweight and hunting to lose excess fat would have significantly success on the "paleo" approach by restricting carbohydrate (considerably like Richard). This would not require calorie counting or worrying too significantly about macronutrient ratios.
