День в моей жизни: Кэрол Дэвис
Кэрол Дэвис — одна из самых больших телевизионных звезд года. Мы провели с ней день, чтобы узнать, как выглядит ее рутина. Мы встретили ее в 6.30 утра, когда она уже была в студии, поедая свой завтрак, приготовленный для нее шеф-поваром студии. Яйца и бекон, свежий апельсиновый сок и тосты. После завтрака она всегда укладывает волосы, что занимает около 45 минут. По ее словам, когда она приходит в студию, она выглядит как будто она провела ночь в урагане.
После укладки волос она выглядит ошеломляющей. Были проблемы перед шоу, когда мы были там. Человек, который обычно делает ее макияж, заболел, и Кэрол очень беспокоилась о том, что он будет сделан кем-то другим. Разве она не могла сделать это сама? Очевидно нет. Телезвезда является чрезвычайно необычной, если другие люди не делают все за нее.
