Relatives in Show Business/ Talent or "Connections"

And what a battle that will be for her. Have you watched her performance? Has she got anything other than major contacts?

I think she's good on the show, but it's such an ensemble cast that I think it's hard for anyone to really stand out. I'd be interested to see her in something else.

Setanta- I wasn't even thinking of that. Show business is a very volatile affair. often it is the luck of the draw. My only point is that some celebrities have a "leg up" because of their name value, and the fact that they have probably mingled with show business people because of their relative.

I guess that would be my mistake for not reading well enough!

I spent much of my life working in television as a film & video tape editor. I had no relations to call on and did it purely on my own skill and creative talent.
I worked on many progs from quiz shows, soaps, dramas & political shows. I spent 15 years running my own production company. I loved every minute of it. It paid well & was far better than doing a real job.

Damn - busted!

ok here's one my eyes didn't see
