"I do still get the odd fan letter about The Good Life, clearly written by somebody aged 18, who says: Will you send a photograph? And I think: Maybe it's kinder not to. I'm deeply into my 50s now"

This quote by Felicity Kendal speaks with the longevity of her career and the impact of her work. She is reflecting on the reality that she still receives fan mail for her work on the program The Good Life, which aired years ago. She is shocked that the fan mail is originating from someone so young, and she questions if it would be kinder not to send a picture. She knows that she is now in her 50s, and that her look has actually changed since the program aired. This quote talks to the power of her work and the impact it has had on audiences, even after all these years. It also speaks to the humbleness of Kendal, as she knows the age space in between her and her fans, and is considerate of their feelings.
