The Dr. Phil show

SOD: Would you like to become friends with Robin McGraw?

Lesley-Anne: I don't know about that, Lesley-Anne chuckels. Robin has a private jet and zooms around everywhere and I don't like flying particulary. I wouldn't be a very good friend because I would be saying, I'm not going with you Robin. I'm not getting on that jet.
We shared a brief reunion since Robin guest appearance. Robin was promoting her book on the Dr Phil show and they had a little vignette of her being on B&B, smiles Lesley-Anne. They brought me on as a sort of surprise for her and it was quite fun actually, but I have to say it was a little early for me. I was in false eyelashes at 4:30 in the morning. / LesleyAnneDown.com By Gea!

Deeper facts that you may not know about Lesley-Anne:

1. Down was offered the role of Rachel Mcadams mother in "Wedding Crashers" Kathleen, But had to turn it down due to the work schedule at The bold and the beautiful, the role went to Jane Seymour! 

2. Lesley-Anne Down has been offered many, many roles in films and soaps that today are very big in Sweden in particular, but turns them all down, reason? She wants to live as normal as possible, like everyone else, being able to go out walk with her dog, be with her son and husband, do normal things, B&B (The Bold and the beautiful) s schedule gives her the chance to live a normal life, she is done with being away for months from home doing movie after movie, meet her family like once a month, so she turn filmoptions down and only keep going with B&B, she still accepts roles in films sometimes, but not that often as she used to do!

It makes us a little bit of upset, we would love her to accept much filmrols so that we kan keep collect many films, but it's so much better she is happy with her life and gets what she wants out of it! a healthy way to live, the way she lives now, who wants to be away for years doing the same thing over and over again when they can live like eveyone else!
