Today Melissa Livingstone is a popular actress and star of the TV soap opera 'Round the Corner'. But as a child she was very unhappy. She didn't do well at school, and she never went to college. Her greatest pleasure was going to the cinema. Her family lived in an unattractive town and their home was next to the station. Melissa's father, Tom, was a sailor, and he spent months at sea. He was hardly ever at home and when he was, he didn't do very much. Sometimes he spent all day in bed. Melissa's mother, Susan, had to get up at five o'clock every day to go to work. When Tom lost his job he stole a gold cup from the church Susan used to go to. He had to go to prison for a year. Melissa's mother was horrified at the shame he had brought on the family.
