Sheila Hayman

Sheila Hayman’s father was a German pure mathematician and her mother a Yorkshire Quaker. She’s been an award-winning TV director and journalist, Chinese interpreter to a BBC film crew, a Fulbright Fellow, fiddle player in the Irish band that appeared in ‘Titanic’ and the official necrologist of the 1996 Oscars, but frankly, when it comes to having babies, that’s all totally irrelevant. Thank God.
