	The Kindness of Strangers - Kate Adie - Review - From "veggin" to OBE
		(And as the tabloids were insisting the maiden Adie must be a lesbian only a couple of years back, no girlfriends either.) We find out in the merest of references, and later a photo caption, that she was adopted.
		There is a sense that she is very easy around blokes, as there was a lot of old boys' club business in the early years of her career ~ helped no doubt by her dare-we-say unconvential good looks and the miniskirt era.
		Also missing, for the most part, is any semblance of Adie saying what is right and wrong about what she covered in her job.
