Not sure if Barbra has time to read all this mail let alone rely to any but you never know, here goes.

Dear Barbra

Could I trouble you for a little advice from here in the UK, I have been thinking of taking up the challenge of becoming an actor but am I too old to start?
( Male in the UK 44 years old )

Although I have had a long life passion in movies and music it seems it did not dawn on me until recently that I really want to become an actor, I seemed to be satisfied watching people like yourself create masterpieces when actually I should of been having a go myself.

I can sing, take off voices and act ( all to what ability I am unsure as I am guilty of doing most of my performances in the shower )
My influences are Your Good Self, Charlie Chaplin, Al Pacino Al Jolson & Robert De niro.

If late is better than never what advice could you offer to someone in my position.

I won't make this mail too long, I am sure you are busy and have a limited time to respond. Thank you for your consideration. Kindest regards Darren

PS Your performance of Somewhere at the age of 43 is magical by the way.
