Anita Roddick
Anita Roddick died this week at age 64 of a brain haemorrhage.
I felt really saddened by this news. I met her at a public lecture and booksigning many years ago and she had that typical famous person's inability to look you in the eyes (I know a haven't met a lot of famous people but the ones I have met all exhibit this - maybe they think they'd turn to stone or something). Her energy was palpable. She was a 4'10" vortex. Very magnetic.
She ate my food (I catered the event). She signed my book "To Nadia. The last one!! Yea!! Anita Roddick" She was referring to me being last in the queue. She had signed hundreds of books by then - the lecture was one of the most successful we'd staged.
There is a photo of the bookshop staff and Anita somewhere. She was a wee lady who took up all the space in the room.
She was principled and strong. And had totally mad hair. I remembered thinking -bitchily - that she could have used some of her own product.
Not only will I miss her, I think the planet will in some way mourn. She was definitely on its side and it needs all the allies it can get these days.
