Annette Crosbie
"I've been acting since I was 22 years old but it wasn't until Calendar Girls, at the age of 70 that I did my first part nude role. A large book concealed what I had anyway, but bare breasts don't raise many eyebrows these days."
"Many people have the attitude that an older body is something to be ashamed of and should be kept covered up and there is an enormous pressure for all of us to stay young because that is the only attractive 'sexy' age to be. You would think by now we would all know that 'sexy' is something that can't be defined or explained. So I'm all for this campaign. I've just met a 95-year-old woman whom everybody finds attractive because of her sense of humour and charm."
"My mother always told me 'Never judge a book by the cover'."
