Who is saying What, Why, When and Where

Synopsis:

With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Koo Stark reveals: 'The only thing keeping me going is my daughter'. The first thing you notice about Koo Stark is her hair. She wears it in exactly the same style as she did at the height of her fame 25 years ago, when as a ravishing young American actress she captured the heart of Prince Andrew and came tantalisingly close to becoming his Princess.

It is long, heavy, swingy, lustrous and dark, although streaked with grey these days, and she tosses it over her shoulder in luxurious sweeping gestures in a rather glamorous manner reminiscent of shampoo commercials.

In 2002, after she underwent a mastectomy after being diagnosed with second stage breast cancer, all her hair fell out during the subsequent course of chemotherapy.

She grieved the loss of that more than her breast because to her it was the outward symbol of her femininity.
