Default Hermione Norris: TV actors aren't rich - I shop from Asda's value range


[As a regular fixture on television
since her days in the hit drama
Cold Feet, Hermione Norris could
be expected to live a comfortable life.
Yet the actress has claimed
British television pays such meagre
wages that she buys her groceries
from Asda’s budget range.
The claims are surprising, coming
as they do from an actress who
earned a reported £75,000 per episode
for the final series of
ITV’s Cold Feet in 2003.
However, Norris said times are tougher.

“It’s quite a different industry
now and the money has gone
down hugely. So there’s still
quite a bit of Asda Smart Price
going on in my life. I certainly
don’t squander cash lightly,”
said Norris, 46.
“I think, perhaps, if you work
in America, the fees are still
very good. But my life is here
and I love British drama.
If those beans come
from Asda’s Smart Price
range, they will cost 24p.
Other bargains
include a 71p lasagne." ]

Why shop in dreadful Asda and their crap value range when you can save money and get better quality at Aldi. This lady needs to refocus and get to her nearest Aldi. Its much smaller, quicker and friendlier.

and yes I would if that is the subtext here

So the saying's wrong then...

Movies make you famous, TV makes you rich but theatre makes you good. Maybe that only applies to the US.

The final paragraph has no closing inverted commas so I don't know where what she's saying ends.

Sounds more like an advertisement for Asda really than a normal interview.

I expect she will be the next face of Asda, if it was good enough for Sharon.

71p Lasagne not sure I would feed that to my dog.
