My Secret Life: Saffron Burrows, Actress, age 35Interview by Charlotte Philby
Saturday, 31 May 2008
…
The moment that changed me for ever … was the death of [Clement] Blair Peach [the New Zealand-born teacher who, during a demonstration [against nazis] in London in 1979, was killed allegedly as a result of police brutality]. My family were in some way connected to him; I was only seven, but it was a major event even for me. I can clearly remember seeing the posters with the images of the policeman.
My greatest inspiration … is love.
My real-life villain … is Augusto Pinochet. Of course, he’s not the only dictator who behaved in such an extraordinary way – there have been many regimes that have been pretty objectionable in the last century – but his legacy has survived. I have a few Chilean friends in London who have been very much affected by the way the government operated. …
My life in seven words … Big, tall, reckless, precipitous, straddling two centuries.
