Cracked Actress: Hazel O' Connor
Mike Stand, Face, The, May 1981
HAZEL O'Connor lives on the fourth floor of a redbrick building in West Hampstead that looks as though it should belong to the water board or social services. You ring, she yells out of the landing window at you to stand back so that she can see who you are, then you trudge on up.
