lady penelope creighton-ward aka lady penelope from thunderbirds

my world has just been shattered ,simply by surfing the net and finding out that lady penelope was not in fact modelled on Dusty- a lifelong belief has been shattered-lady penelope was in fact modelled on sylvia anderson, wife of the creator of the thunderbirds series gerry anderson
http://www.sylviaanderson.org.uk/html/lady_penelope.html



was anyone else under the illusion that lady penelope was a caricature of Dusty? or am i the only one?


this is sylvia myles who played lady penelope in the 2004 film thunderbirds

i wonder if she would have been a better choice for the proposed Dusty flms?

D'ya know Dave, I've never thought of it that way! I was a fan of Thunderbirds too, and it never occured to me that Lady Penelope does in fact look similar in appearance to Dusty.

Thanks for pointing it out- love the pictures btw, there is a likeness between the two- I can imagine Dusty voicing her too, she would have sounded great!

Awww Dave don't fret, I know how much emotional trauma this may have cuased you- but it's going to be ok.

I actually think that that image of 'brains' reminds me of Elton John back in the 70s with those HUGE specs! What do ya think? F.A.B?
