Empire’s child–Jenny Eclair
What a bias program the poor Chinese, what about the way they hacked the rubber planters to death!–you can hardly class Jenny Eclair as a Empire’s child, the empire had gone by the time she was born in Malaya– I was a child there in the 54/58 . Perhaps you are running celebrities ! very disappointing program
