“I’m a writer,” I replied, haughtily, “I don’t go out with actors. You put other people’s words in your mouth when you never know where they’ve been!” Kathy Lette is fine with regret, but there's one moment she wishes she could change. | OPINION
Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. Looking back over the decades, I can’t help but wonder …That purple poncho I wore on a first date. That perm which looked as though I’d sutured my pubic hair to my cranium. That clingy leopard-print dress I bought at vast expense which made me look more shabby tabby than cool cat.
After moving to London in my 30s, my many gaffes meant I could have fried an egg on my face on a daily basis. But looking back now, all I can think is, why was I bothered? Misunderstandings that left me red-faced with humiliation I would now greet with an insouciant shrug. In the late ’80s, I was working on a hit sitcom in Hollywood. We cast this then-unknown actor as a love interest. He invited me for coffee – and I declined. I can still remember the exact words I uttered. “I’m a writer,” I replied, haughtily, “I don’t go out with actors. You put other people’s words in your mouth when you never know where they’ve been!”
