Ms Pritchard's account of her "participation" in the last years of his life is
questioned by many, myself included. I have not read her book "On The Wings Of
Paradise", but it seems she has trouble getting her dates and facts straight.

More on Jeremy Brett:
Shortly after his (untimely) death the details of his will were released.
His estate was valued at 634,777 Pounds .
Among other legacies , he left a sum of 3000 pounds to his 'fan club'
known as "The Regulars "
with the wish that this amount be divided equally between persons who were
members at the time of his death.
They were then eight , one of them Ms. Linda Pritchard who shared with him
, the last few years of his life.
