David Jr called Hjördis ‘The Swede’. ‘Daddy and she had a really good time at the beginning,’ he said,

though she was never on time, which used to drive him crazy. She also used to gamble. She’d go off to the racetrack and if she won then there’d be caviar, but if she lost it was baked beans on toast for the rest of the week. My father got very pissed off with this but that was the nature of the beast. She didn’t speak very much English and wasn’t really a mother, though Pinkie had been like a mother, terrific, and there was a wonderful black laundress called May, who was also terrific, but in the end boarding school was the answer and eventually I went to a number of boarding schools in the States. In the holidays we’d go wherever he was making a film, and if you were in Greece or somewhere unmentionable you wouldn’t see your friends and it was rather a bore: he’s not there because he’s working, you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, you don’t know anyone, you’re eating foul food, and you have to spend a lot of time with your stepmother.
