I was very nervous as I waited to interview one of the most successful women of our times：Kathy Howe．I was Just a young reporter and she was not only a popular singer but also a famous actress，starring in many movies．

    As soon as the door opened，however，and her slim figure appeared，I immediately relaxed． She looked great-with her kind brown eyes，her excellent black hair，and her beautiful smile．I looked for bags under her eyes，but there were none．“How do you manage to look so good and live life in the fast lane at the same time?”I asked her．

    She laughed，and her whole face shone．“It’s tiring to be famous．Yon have to work hard，be on time，and take care of yourself．Also，you have to go to Hollywood parties，be taken photos for magazines，and give interviews!”

    As we talked，I found out that Kathy is a very warm and kind person，and that her family is more important to her than being a star．At the same time，she wants to do everything as well as she can，so she can sometimes seem to be hard．

    When I asked her if she thought of herself as lucky．she didn’t answer immediately．Then she said，“Well．perhaps I’m lucky，but I also work very hard，and being famous has weak points，too．In fact，I’ve missed out on lots of things I really enjoy doing，like spending time with my daughter．”

I felt sad when it was time to leave，as Kathy is a wonderful woman．I have never met anyone else who has such a busy life，and still manages to look so beautiful．
