Sally Head, the television producer, is remembered in a letter from a friend who first met her more than 50 years ago. The Guardian journalist Frank Keating brought Head to a Sunday lunch at the home of the letter writer, where Keating and Head decided to get married the next night.
Life and Friendship
After their eventual divorce, Head became a close neighbour with a genius for friendship. She was quick to offer comfort for any ailment and would call after breakfast if she liked something one had written. Her love of life and people meant she was adored not only by her mates but also by the huge talents with whom she worked.
Legacy
Head's impact on television and her personal relationships is highlighted in this tribute. The letter emphasizes her warmth and the deep connections she formed throughout her life and career.
