| Trivia | The inspiration for casting Joanna Lumley as Patsy came from a sketch on The Full Wax (1991). There, Ruby Wax interviewed Lumley, where the actress (who had previously been seen as a prim and proper English rose) played herself as a drunk, cocaine-addicted, washed-up has-been. See more » |
