'There was a lot that we kept from my mother. My dad would say to
me as a teenager "Don't tell your mother." We couldn't face the
disapproval.' Sue Johnston always seemed to be disappointing her
mother. As a girl she never stayed clean and tidy like her cousins.
As she grew older, she spent all her piano lesson money on drinks
for her mates down the pub, and when she discovered the Cavern she
was never at home. The final straw was when Sue left her steady job
at a St Helens factory to try her hand at that unsteadiest of jobs:
acting. Yet when Sue was bringing up her own child alone, her
mother was always there to help. And playing her much-loved
characters Sheila Grant and Barbara Royle - although her mum
wouldn't say she was proud as such, she certainly seemed to
approve. And in her mother's final months, it was Sue she needed by
her side. The relationship with your mother is perhaps the most
precious and fraught of any woman's life. When she began writing,
Sue set out to record 'all the big things, and all the small
things. Everything I wanted to tell my mother but felt I never
could'. The result is a warm, poignant and often very funny memoir
by one of our favourite actresses.
