emily maitlis - uk tv presenter - likes leonard

Post by sebmelmoth2003 »

...The song that means most to you… Leonard Cohen's Dance Me To The End Of Love. I grew up in Sheffield with Cohen blaring out around the house from my sisters. He haunts me...

...The order of service at your funeral… I want Dance Me To The End Of Love, some great poems and wonderful music, and for someone special to make a funny speech taking the mickey out of me. They'd say, 'Finally, a social event she couldn't get out of'

The way you want to be remembered… 'Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.' [Copyright Dorothy Parker]...

I listened to the programme when it was broadcast. Thanks for posting. You beat me to it.. :D .

Emily is also best known in recent years for her, now infamous, interview with Prince Andrew around his relationship with Jeffry Epstein amongst other allegations.

She comes across as a real admirer of Leonard in this programme.
