Forget 'Lara', check her out instead as the sexy girlfriend in 'Billy Liar'.
Anyone remember the follow-up book "Billy Liar on the Moon", if I remember rightly?
I always thought that the Jam raririty "Liza Radley" was inspired by Liar's girlfriend in the film. Sadly, I read recently it was about being in love with the local hooker. Much preferred my interpretation of the girl who was leaving the small town for a sophisticated destiny in London and sadly, you ain't going with her.
