The day a case of mistaken identity nearly resulted in a trip to the police station.
Last month I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the Gloucestershire Constabulary Open Day. I listened to three fascinating and informative talks and met some very interesting people including Rod Hansen, the Chief Constable and Police Commissioner Martin Surl. Having never been in trouble with the law myself (please don’t let this jinx that) I was quite intrigued to even walk inside the building, let alone chat to them about their work.
I say I’ve never been in trouble with the law, but I was, once, almost arrested for prostitution. Let me explain. PLEASE let me explain. I was filming an episode of the television series Mike Hammer, in which I was playing the rock star daughter of Stacey Keach, the star of the show. My costume and make up were extreme to say the least and I was wearing a platinum blonde wig. It’s always a treat when the wardrobe and make up department do most of the work for you, in terms of the characterisation of a role, so I was very happy strutting around in my short skirt and shiny jacket.
