She was absolutely stunning, and so elegant plus her love for animals RIP Alexandra

I know honestly she was such a beautiful 😘

[@josephgallacher3729]

She could have been UK s Farrah Fawcett but in The Champions she dressed like your aunty, not one Bikini shot, side boob shot, mini skirt etc. She was absolutely gorgeous, knocked back Steve McQueen when he was filming in London.

Way back in 1968 as an 18 year old I had the hots for her, as did most young red blooded males watching the champions, what a beautiful woman she was

I would agree and tell them why that wasn't a terrible thing to say- animals love purely, they don't scam, kill for fun be nasty,you know what I mean - always there 24 /7 never ask for more than your love-respect to them all

You and me both. Judith, what lovely days when we were children she was exceptional wasn't she? Such a modest, beautiful woman. She's definitely one of the ones I wanted to marry 😂 I remember excitingly watching the champions when I was about 7 and it made me a little sad when I was there but I'm glad I did it and thank you for the great comment Alan

Judith, it's such a cheap term when people say she had the full package but she really did. She was so caring, so modest, down to earth, and astronomically gorgeous. 😉 Thank you, Judith hug

Hello Alan! What a wonderful and poignant video you've made of Alexandra. She truely had a beauty so magnificent that focusing on anything else but her was near impossible.. and, like a good wine, only improved with age. More important than that was what a special person she was. And thanks to you I feel priveledged to have "known" her a little better!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

I know Debbie. It's an old program. You must be a young one but it was popular and still shows now and again. Thank you. Alan

[@JohnCashin]

The one story in The Champions that I always remembered from back then was The Interrogation, where that evil-looking man that was hired by the organisation Craig and the others worked for was given the task of trying to find out how they were able to accomplish all of their missions by imprisoning and interrogating Craig Sterling. The others couldn't help him in case they gave the truth away. That story gave me nightmares as a kid. Yes, Alexandra was absolutely stunning, I don't know how the other actors managed to focus on their jobs with her around but they were all incredibly professional and very talented actors who put all of that to one side whilst they were in character. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't some flirting going on between Alexandra and the others off-screen though🤣. It's a shame that two of them are now gone, Alexandra and Stuart Damon are both deceased. William Gaunt is currently the last one standing. Cheers for the upload.

Very interesting John. Thank you for the great comment

What an absolutely beautiful lady she was Alan. Stunning looks but the thing I admire and love her for most was her caring towards animals. I love all animals and think so very highly of anyone who goes out of their way to help them and care about them. I have been a vegetarian for a few years now (partly because I don't really enjoy meat and mostly because of my love of animals). I don't miss it at all, but my husband would probably leave home if I stopped him eating meat. Live and let live, we all have our different opinions and if we don't hurt anyone else (including animals) it doesn't really matter. Again, Alan another good one and i really enjoyed it. Thank you.
