CD: Elvis: 30 No 1 Hits (RCA)

I'm revisiting Elvis at the moment - I really like him but hadn't really listened to his music for a long time. When you consider how exciting that music is today and how even more exciting it must have been when it first came out, it's simply awe-inspiring. My other favourite CD is the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra's recording of Mahler's Symphony No 5 (EMI Classics). How's that for a big leap?

Book:

I really enjoyed reading Enduring Love by Ian McEwan (Vintage, £5.99) It's about all the things that interest me, and asks questions about the nature of God, spirituality and mortality. To find those subjects explored in a novel is very rewarding. Los Angeles, where I live, is quite spiritual, very healthy and earthy, and I find I can ask questions about things such as reincarnation.

Film: A Beautiful Mind

I watched it twice in the same evening. It was such a shame that Russell Crowe, who plays the mathematical genius John F Nash, was behaving so badly in his private life around the time that the film came out, and consequently turned people against him. Otherwise I'm sure he would have won an Oscar for such a brilliant performance.

Buy:

A few little pieces from Joseph - I think they are great for wardrobe staples. Their basic white ribbed T-shirts go with absolutely everything. I'm Joseph mad and wear a lot of their clothes. You shouldn't have to pay the money you do for a T-shirt, although the cut does make up for it. I like today's clothes but I do rather mourn the loss of glamour from my Dynasty days, for example. Then it was written into our contracts that we were not to be seen out and about wearing jeans or without wearing make-up.

It's a fan site about me set up by a girl called Maggie, who happens to be both a fan of mine and a computer buff. It's amazing. I can't believe the experience she has in computers, which I know nothing about. The site lists my filmography and biography and there are also photo galleries. Maggie must know more about me than I do myself!

Stephanie Beacham can be seen in the new series of Bad Girls on ITV1 this summer.
