I remember this live. I’d have been 12 and always assumed she was quite scary up until this point. This interview showed her in a completely different light - down to earth, giggly and fun (and what I didn’t pick up on back then, a bit of a flirt, too!)

An amazing woman with a wicked sense of humour. Terry Wogan being the charming and professional interviewer he was, clearly had no problems with Grace Jones, as eccentric as she is and probably a little stoned, as she was that night.

This must have been about the time of 'A View to a Kill'; apparently, originally the producers wanted to cast David Bowie in the role of Zorin (played in the film by Christopher Walken), which would have been amazing, it's a shame she never worked with Bowie!

The fuzzy small (minded) tv sets back then couldn't in detail show you who Grace was, often referred to as scary but if you look closely she's alive and happy to be there speaking candidly about life and herself. Her face is striking and beautiful very artistic soul

I know Roger Moore didn't have a good time with her on the set of one of his James Bond movies (A View To a Kill) and I think on the Russel Harty she lightly attacked him when she thought that she was being ignored. So I think she certainly had behavioural issues but there's no dout that she was talented (listen to her singing voice on her albums). You don't hear of her these days, she is 74 years old.
