Ruth Jones

Is it the Walk, the Talk or the Charisma? So, what makes a gal succeed? Is it their walk, their talk, or perhaps their super pizazz morphs them into an MBE, or BAFTA Cymru Award screenwriter like Welsh lass Ruth Jones. She certainly hits the high note when it comes to star quality. She is the "Mrs" with the comedic head on her shoulders. The kind of gal that churns up so many laughs she creates sitcoms like "Gavin and Stacey", "Fat Friends" and "Little Britain", even starring in them. But ask yourself, how many balls can a girl keep throwing in the air without one landing on her head? Surely, some mistakes are part of fame's evolution? It could be said that the lovely Ruth Alexandra Elizabeth Jones career as comedienne, writer and producer is evolving full on, even if she avoids making a big deal out of fame and fortune. After all, she is a down to earth “girl next door type” the kind who takes a long hard look at life, and goes realistically funny on it. This is a sun in Virgo, moon in Capricorn lady, people! All that stellar earthiness ensures she prefers a hands-on approach to human absurdities. We roll in the aisles as she blows our contradictions, challenges and idiocies out of the water with never ending laughs. In other words, she builds humour from the bottom up, laser beaming her thoughts into a power house of hilarious giggles. The secret to her fame could be deemed baffling; generally, those graduating from the University of Warwick with a degree in Theatre Studies and Dramatic Art don't end up with an MBE! Perhaps training at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama had something to do with it, or perhaps her enquiring mind and exclusive take on life pushed her up the ladder of success? More Curious than a Cat That moon in Virgo will make her more curious than a cat of course. She wants to learn; she wants to understand the “ins and outs” of existence and will not find peace unless she gets the funny answers. Her cerebral cortex darts here and there, full of perceptions and ideas.. Some might keep her up at night. When she has a visionary breakthrough at three in the morning, she will probably invade the fridge and then work on till dawn, munching on cheddar cheese. She does it for her own laughs.
