When I started acting I was on television

I then moved into small roles in successful movies

The Jew of Malta

Macbeth

The Tempest

A Woman Killed with Kindness

The Duchess of Malfi

All followed in two incredible London years

I was then offered a movie in Greece

Which totally changed my perspective

Island hopping for a whole summer

I decided then that I would become lazy

And only accept coastal roles

It was a most sensible decision

As I have sea bleached golden hair

A figure to die for and blue cornflower eyes

Yet my agent has just put me forward

For the opening episodes of an Icelandic cop series

I am sorely tempted as it will pay very well

But as I sit here staring at the painted ocean

Rubbing sun oil into my already golden legs

Julie Benjamin finds herself in a dilemma

I am a good actress classically trained

But I am also a lazy actress

Who just loves the sea

Oh Fuck Oh Fuck Oh Fuck
