Absolutely Joanna Lumley

Joanna Lamond Lumley was born on 1 May 1946 in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. Her parents were Major James Rutherford Lumley, who served in the 6th Gurkha Rifles, a regiment of the British Indian Army, and Thya Rose Weir; they married in 1941.

After the independence of India in 1949, the Lumleys settled in Kent, England. Joanna was educated at St Mary's School in Sussex, England, and afterwards attended the Lucie Clayton finishing school. Tall, leggy, slim and blonde, she spent three years as a photographic model, and is said to have made her TV debut in a well-known UK advert for Nimble bread first screened in 1969.  She also worked as a house model for Jean Muir.

She is best known for her roles in The New Avengers, Absolutely Fabulous, Sapphire and Steel and Sensitive Skin.

Amazon Presents...Joanna Lumley 

Class Act: Kate (Lumley) is forced to take extreme measures to maintain her privileged lifestyle when her wealthy husband vanishes with all of their money. With the help of an unlikely pair of accomplices--Gloria, a "reformed" cat burglaress, and Jack (Bowe), a journalist--Kate must discover what has happened to her husband, and more importantly, her fortune.

No Room For Secrets: Joanna Lumley has rarely had the opportunity to reveal her true self. Intimate, funny, intriguing and moving, No Room for Secrets is a more surprising and revealing autobiography than any sensational 'kiss and tell' memoir you will ever read. Inside you will find the real Joanna Lumley.

Mad Cows: Maddy, a single mother from Australia is on the hunt for her baby's father. She manages to get sent to prison (with baby Jack in tow!) for stealing a packet of frozen peas from Harrods. Her friend Gillian reluctantly smuggles baby Jack out of prison in her handbag and Maddy escapes in disguise. Then things get really crazy!...

In the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon: Joanna Lumley explores the Eastern Himalayas: a world which challenges accepted ideas of wealth, progress, happiness, and quality of life.

Sapphire & Steel: The Facts 

Sapphire & Steel is a British television science-fiction fantasy series starring David McCallum as Steel and Joanna Lumley as Sapphire. Produced by ATV, it ran from 1979 to 1982 on the ITV network. The series was created by Peter J. Hammond who conceived the programme under the working title The Time Menders, after a stay in a haunted castle. Hammond also wrote all the stories except for the fifth, which was co-written by Don Houghton and Anthony Read.

In 2004, Sapphire and Steel returned in a series of audio dramas starring David Warner and Susannah Harker.

List Price: $99.95

The spiritual precursor to The X-Files, Sapphire & Steel is one of the most atmospheric, mysterious and compelling television programs ever made. Joanna Lumley and David McCallum star as alien investigators sent to earth to monitor and police ruptures in time.

Defying convention at every turn, Sapphire & Steel spread six adventures over 34 episodes, keeping viewers constantly in suspense and heightening the tension with its distinctively claustrophobic sets, stark lighting and ethereal music. Combined with the deeply ambiguous stories, this created a distinctly unsettling and riveting experience.

Al (Denis Lawson) and Davina Jackson (Joanna Lumley)seem to have the perfect life. At 60 they both look great enjoy their work (he's a music writer for a newspaper; she works in an art gallery) and having finally said au revoir to their son are ready to indulge themsleves with a funky centeral London apartment and a retro 70s Silver Shadow Rolls Royce.

Still something somewhere somehow doesn't feel quite right. Is it that their 30-year-old son Orlando refuses to acknowledge adulthood? Or that Davina's sister Veronica and her husband Roger intimidate them with their confident grasp of life and comprehensive pension plans? And don't forget the sexual temptation the professional jealousy and that burning question: is this the life I wanted?
