Maisie's been in show business since she was a skinny little kid, and show business is why I look that way. But it's glamourous, and exciting, wonderful and unpredictable - pretty much everything you can think of, except profitable! When she's working in some other job outside of show business, Maisie's usually got a strange feeling in her stomach - but the feelings only there on account of her having some food in it for a change! This week she's working at Hemingway, and this morning she's heading in late again. Just how do people do this every day?! One of the very early episodes of Amos and Andy originally broadcast in 1929, whilst very audible there is some crackling and hissing in the background.
