Raise a glass of Stoli, darling! Fashion model turned actress, “Bond girl” (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)), British television stalwart (featuring in everything from Coronation Street to The New Avengers to Sapphire and Steel!), activist and possessor of a crushed velvet voice so posh she makes the royal family sound like Cockney guttersnipes Dame Joanna Lumley (1 May 1946) was born on this day 80 years ago! Pictured: JoJo photographed by Tim Walker in the guise of her definitive role, the dissolute chain-smoking "fash mag slag" Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous.
