CORAL ANDREWS-LESLIE
Coral – the girl in the three FOF amigos – started working at the store in 2002 soon after she rented a season of Absolutely Fabulous. She didn’t realize it was a new release and t’was now a week late! Zounds! What was she to do? She quickly recalled that Rolf, whom she used to work with during his flea market days, had once asked if she wanted part time hours at this cool new Queen south store just a block away from home. When she saw her Ab Fab tab, she knew the answer. That was 2002 and yeah… time flies when you’re having this much fun. Like Rolf and Ray, Coral also loves film, and working at FOF informs her research as a national freelance journalist, radio host and theatre producer. The biggest thrill for Coral is seeing someone she’s interviewed in a film and knowing the story behind a classic scene –
David Johansen in Tales from the Crypt’s cult famed cat manoeuvre or a nude Graham Chapman rushing out to the multitudes in Monty Python’s The Life of Brian.
Coral loves all aspects of the film process from dialogue to special effects to directorial style be it Scorsese, Greenaway, Huston, Coppola, The Coens or the Farrellys.
Like Ray, she is constantly fine – tuning her knowledge of independent cinema especially Film Festival movies.
A hard core theatre fanatic, Coral’s a huge fan of all the HBO films and TV series from Six Feet Under (she owns the entire series) to The Sopranos (she watched five seasons in one month) to
Deadwood and Carnivale. To her, HBO is theatre on the small screen. She also adores Brit Wit, concert video, cartoons and very dark humour. The best thing about working at FOF – Rolf, Ray, and the Ab Fab customers – always teaching her new and fascinating things about da flicks!
