Yes, I suppose it makes a bit of a difference when you have the odd million or two in the bank. :lol: She does look stunning though.

Shirley looks really good in the picture but while money can camouflage the wrinkles and pay for natural hair wigs, no money on earth can pay for her deteriorating veins, muscles and bones that comes with the inevitable ageing process. :wink: :) rather than seeing shock pictures later of these stars and celebrities when they have had to finally surrender, it's best to grow old gracefully but gradually. :lol: :lol:

I'm not saying that having big money does not help but if that were all, then every rich woman would look good--and they do not !!!!

SHIRLEY Bassey's estranged grand-daughter suffers a double blow when she makes a bid for stardom on The X Factor.

She flunks her audition — and her long-lost gran is set to beat her to a place on the show.

Welsh diva Dame Shirley, 72, has been lined up to be a guest performer on a live Saturday episode where she will sing and give advice to hopefuls.

Tatjana Novak-Kimsey, 17, said she was desperate for her gran to see her sing on the show. But it looks like it will be the other way round.

Tatjana tries to impress judges with Faith Hill's song, There You'll Be, aired this weekend.

But sources say although Simon, Louis, Cheryl and Dannii loved her personality they didn't feel she had a voice to match gran's.

I had read about this girl Terence. Although she is Dame Shirley's granddaughter, she is the daughter of her adopted son, so would not have any blood connection to inherit any of Dame Shirley's talented genes. :wink:

Two more lovely pictures of Shirley Terence. :)
Shirley's adopted son - Mark Novak was the son of Shirley's niece Marian, so there is the possibility of the talented genes connection.
She and her husband Sergio Novak adopted him in 1971.

I hadn't realised that Lena and Harry, so maybe a few iotas of talent filtered through, but according to Simon and Co. - not :(
Good luck to her anyway.
Marian. :wink:
