1661This is the Maltese actress Marama Corlett.

She has a lovely accent, which you’ll hear on her audio commentary In it she explains that her father was once taking her to school, when she happened to spot a 50c Maltese coin on the pavement (in the days before we joined the euro).

“I was really excited and started walking off when my dad said ‘You should always remember where there’s money, there’s more’.”

Our subject duly went back, investigated further and found more coins beneath a nearby car. “It’s not only for money, there’s always a lead from one thing to the other,” she says. Taken in South Kensington, London, UK.
