♦ There is a nice article on Rufus's first wife Yasmin at Fashion Editor At Large. Here are the pertinent Roof bits:
The single biggest event of my teens was the moment I fell in love with Rufus (Sewell).
Three days after I shaved my hair off I was sat in the Pacific Blue Room, a hot restaurant on Oxford Street in Sydney when Kiefer Sutherland walked in with this weird looking guy. He had these big big eyes. He was staring at me, and I was like “who is this weird guy?” Then a few minutes later I looked back at him, and that was it. It was love. The man was Rufus Sewell. A week later I had moved into his hotel. He was making a movie called Dark City. We became inseparable. Three months later I moved to London. That was it. I was 20.
London was all about building a career. Interning. I liked fashion, but I didn’t know what aspect.
I worked on the shop floor at Browns. I was just discovering my personal style. Then Rufus and I went to New York. I interned at Harpers Bazaar with Tonne Goodman. Then back in London I worked with Alison Edmond at Harpers and Queen as bookings editor.
Read the whole thing at the link above; very lovely lady.

♦ Ken Follet has updated his blog on the site and in his blurb about Characters and Casting he mentions "the intense and multi-faceted Rufus Sewell as “Tom Builder” - probably the most popular character I ever wrote". And potentially the most popular Follet character ever portrayed on screen, given who's playing him, ha ha. Read the whole thing here.
