Miss Glamora Tudor!

The year is 1954, and for the first time, we may meet a very interesting persona... Throughout the novels of the great Angela Thirkell, the movie star, Glamora Tudor, is always off stage. We only hear about her latest film and her new handsome co-star. Yet we have always sensed a delightful and interesting personality just waiting to emerge into the Barsetshire scene. So why is she never there in person? We think that the omission may have two reasons. First, it could have been a simple oversight. Second, Glamora does not live in Barsetshire, so she can't show up. The solution to either possibility is to find a good reason for Miss Tudor to visit Barsetshire Let her march boldly in wearing the glamorous New Look, since she must have ordered her clothes in Paris, let her be British, even though we do not agree that she was based on Anna Neagle, and let her bring some interesting friends of which we have never heard before. So here she is in Glorious Technicolor, and as Miss Jessica Dean would say, let the games begin
