is number 10. onions oh good breakfast while journeying around Scotland in a large camper van Alan [ __ ] hands Miriam a breadboard with just an onion and a few slices of cheese on it cumerium taking a bite out of the raw onion as if it's an apple while Alan looks on in shock yeah a bit of cheese a bit longer one completely funny about onions we're sure he's seen her do this before but watching anybody stuff a whole onion into their mouth is something that'll always be strange luckily it's a red onion rather than a white onion meaning it's much less capable of making you cry it might still do this but if you're an old hand a devouring whole onions as Miriam is you might find yourself immune to its tear-inducing properties I know they do make your breath smell but Italian number nine Scorsese Margulies appeared in Martin's scorsese's 1993 drama the age of innocence and she's shared a few anecdotes about her time on set with one of the world's most esteemed film directors they were slumped they were tired they were fed up and I thought I've got to do something to cheer them up after a long day of the crew checking over the costumes of the entire cast Margulies went on last and decided she wanted to brighten their mood she did this by stripping down and flashing everybody in the room including Scorsese and so I stood up there and I just lifted up my top she also had a few Choice comments to make about Winona Ryder followed up with Stephen Fry sharing yet another anecdote about Miriam getting her kit off at work I just gave them to them and it made them happy number eight foot lights I I feel embarrassed because it was 60 years ago and I should have got over it but I haven't right and I thought well I'll make money out of it huge numbers of the UK's most decorated comedians have come through the Footlights Cambridge University's amateur Dramatics Club the pythons Stephen Fry and Hugh Lobby David Mitchell and Robert Webb and many other formals Comics not only attended Cambridge but also got into the Footlights such as its Stranglehold on British comedy Miriam Margulies on the other hand had no time for the group they didn't like me they didn't like women getting attention it was you know in the 60s she appeared in many fortnight's Productions and even met John Cleese and Graham Chapman but has talked about how awful she found them and how they were rude to her because she was a woman and because she was funnier than them and it was John Cleese and Graham uh Chapman who's dead now so I'm not supposed to say anything against him but he was horrid when he was alive he was horrid to me number seven DiCaprio magalies also had a rule in baslerman's 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet which starred a young Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire Danes Leo was only in his early twenties at the time and already on his rise to super stardom he was a bit smelly because it was very hot in Mexico but he still wasn't too famous to listen to The Siege advice of Miriam who took him aside and told him that he needed to wash himself more she later explained this anecdote on this morning seeing that the heat during filming wasn't helping Leo's be all you have to be careful now you're slim it doesn't matter so much and he was young and slim but I don't think he washed for weeks and after a while you notice it Butchy still dishing out similar tips confessing to telling one of the this morning's employees the very same thing which his mum apparently wasn't happy about I was telling the lovely boy Dylan who looks after me here that he's got to wash you know every bit everything number six the queen you have a bit of a moment with the queen didn't you well I have talked about this before on on on television and I feel sort of awkward saying it again but imagine being taught to stop talking by the queen of all people though her majesty was known for her sharp wit she was still generally polite to her subjects not so for Miriam it seems who got a Stern telling off from the Monarch along with some others Miriam was invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the queen as part of British book week and I said like a oh I said [Music] um I said I'm the best reader of stories in the whole world and she went unfortunately she didn't seem too impressive compared to her fellow guests and the queen was more interested in talking to them instead but when Miriam also wanted to talk to the guest the queen made her annoyance known and I said standing next to him really how fascinating I didn't know that and she turned to me and said be quiet which she had every right to do number five the Tories never one to keep her opinions to herself following the December 2019 general election Miriam was one of the guests brought onto Channel 4's the last leg to talk about the Fallout like the other guests and hosts Miriam is left wing and she was also a member of the labor party she started by reeling against the country's Lee voting contingent and went on to let us all know in no small detail what she thinks of Boris Johnson Miriam did you watch the results last night no I didn't I watched the uh the exit result at the beginning and then I went to bed like many she thought Jeremy corbyn should have taken a firmer remain stance at the time and was advocating for him to step aside and she doesn't like Russell Crowe either the funny thing is so when he was on the show in 2016 Russell Crowe was sitting next to him and well he's a bugger too number four cavity search a cavity search might be many people's worst nightmare and though Miriam wasn't too excited by the prospect she was still more prepared for it than most and so you know I tore it off the windscreen and I said you've got to dick that small because I think is to insult him as quickly as possible upon getting a parking ticket in shaftesbury Avenue when she stopped on double yellows Miriam went about berating the copper responsible which he wasn't very happy with she was arrested and taken down to the station where the police decided that the mints in her bag were an illegal substance and I knew I knew because I was sharp that she was going to give me an internal examination preempting the strip search Miriam took off all of her clothes before the police could tell her to do so in preparation for the intimate examination and she came back in and she said you've been here before I said I have not been here before number three drug drop Miriam owns a house right on the coast of Dover which she sees as the nearest house to France on the UK Mainland and she leases it out are you aware that it's been used as a drop for criminals to get rid of their drugs and then one year she was contacted by the police about the property because it was apparently being used by a drug gun shockingly the gang were using Miriam's house to get rid of their narcotics including flying a helicopter down to land on the roof something like 13 million pounds worth of what no it wasn't like a little thing this was a map when the police did catch up with them the bust was massive with tens of millions of pounds of substances being kept there and even Miriam herself wasn't above suspicion all the people online said oh she must be in it you know she's part of the game they were calling me Miriam Escobar number two Lawrence Olivier remember when I was young I and I met Lawrence Olivier Graham Norton asked Miriam whether she ever gets Starstruck especially considering she's worked in the industry for such a long time and met saw many earlisters she says that even she isn't above getting nervous when she meets one of her Idols including meeting Lawrence Olivier when she was very young and I remember so distinctly that I started to Cream in my knickers [Laughter] as always she doesn't mince her words and talks very candidly about how she felt upon meeting Olivier one of the most lauded thespians in history I honestly don't think I've ever been more uncomfortable neither Gemma Arterton nor Matthew Perry could believe what came out of Miriam's mouth that evening I think that's a tribute no greater greater filaments Miriam number one American soldier that was before I was a lesbian I was just I was sorting myself out yes perhaps even more explicit than her anecdote about Olivier was this moment also on Graham Norton in which Miriam was joined by Stanley Tucci and Jimmy Carr and I said would you like to follow me to my college and I'll suck you off she tells another story about her youth at Cambridge when while cycling she encountered an American GI in an open top car and offered to show him a good time I thought I was being a good girl because a bad girl would have had intercourse with a random stranger from the street the soldier certainly didn't decline Miriam's invitation going back with her and was then bold enough to ask if he could return and bring some friends he said could I come back next week because I've got some friends here it was all a bit too much for Tucci's American sensibilities shocked to hear the things Miriam came out with do you agree with our pigs check out this other recent clip from
