James Collins is said to be the richest and most successful television producer in

Hollywood and, in a city famous for its wealth, his wife Candy is the biggest spender. They
recently paid more than $ 10 million for the huge house the famous American singer, Bing
Crosby, used to live in. Then they had it torn down so that an even bigger, more wonderful
mansion could be built. Not only will it have a more luxurious swimming pool, but there will
be an indoor ice-skating rink and a private zoo as well. The final bill will come to at least $ 25
million.

They say that a few years ago, on a typically warm Californian Christmas Eve, Candy

had a huge amount of real snow delivered to the Collins mansion and spread all over the
green lawns so that their children could enjoy ‘a white Christmas’.

Not long ago Candy decided she needed a few more clothes. She had a whole fashion

show flown out to her from New York, alone with the designer and three models. Not only
did she buy the entire collection but – so the story goes at least – the bags and hats the models
travelled with, as well. A lot of people in Hollywood wonder what she is going to buy next.

‘What more can she possibly want?’ others ask.

Martin and Rebecca Granger used to teach in a tough secondary school in London.

Two years ago, they moved to a small cottage in Cornwall, in the extreme south-west of
England. ‘We got tired of trying to make kids learn things they had no interest in’, Martin
says. Martin’s mother died, leaving the cottage to them. ‘It was in a terrible state when we
came. There were leaks in the roof. There wasn’t even an indoor toilet. Rebecca and I have
rebuilt the place with our own hands’.

It is a pleasant, small place by the sea. In their large garden they grow most of their

own vegetables and keep a goat. They also make all their own clothes. ‘Money is still
a problem, but we’ve learned to get by on very little’, Rebecca says. She does some part-time
teaching in a school in a village nearby. Martin paints water-colours of the wild Atlantic and
the brilliant sunsets they see almost every day. He has sold a few recently.

They both say that what they value most is their freedom from the rat race and the

pressures of life in a big city. Only one thing really bothers them, and that is the invasion of
tourists every summer.

‘We’ve been happy here, but we might emigrate to New Zealand, where we’d be even

further away from it all’, Rebecca says.
