Ruby Wax, OBE (born Ruby Wachs; 19 April 1953) is an American actress, mental health campaigner, lecturer, and author who holds both American and British citizenship.
A classically-trained actress, Wax came to prominence as a comic interviewer, playing up to British perceptions of the strident American style, which she replicated in the TV sitcom Girls on Top. She also appeared in Absolutely Fabulous, where she doubled as script editor. Her memoirs, How Do You Want Me?, reached the Sunday Times best-seller list.
Wax pursued a distinguished academic career, graduating in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and gaining a master's degree in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy from Oxford University. Wax is currently a Visiting Professor in Mental Health Nursing at the University of Surrey.
Wax was born and raised in Evanston, Illinois, the daughter of Jewish Austrians who left Austria in 1939 because of the looming Nazi threat. Her father became wealthy as a sausage manufacturer and her mother qualified as an accountant. She majored in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
LECTURE @THE SCHOOL OF LIFE: Ruby Wax argues that by better understanding better how our brains work, we can learn to rewire our thinking and find calm in a frenetic world. Wax seeks to help us start becoming more the master, and less the slave, of our own minds. If you like our films take a look at our shop (we ship worldwide): http://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/all/
Diseases of the body garner sympathy, says comedian Ruby Wax -- except those of the brain. Why is that? With dazzling energy and humor, Wax, diagnosed a decade ago with clinical depression, urges us to put an end to the stigma of mental illness.

Ruby Wax Interviews Madonna in order to promote her (then upcoming) album "Bedtime Stories" Ruby Wax Later branded her 1994 interview with Madonna for BBC show Ruby Wax Meets Madonna as her “most miserable showbiz experience”. “I thought we were going to bond but she hated me on sight.” “We were setting up the cameras and she was saying, ‘No, no, no, I don’t want that camera, I want that camera.’ I got nervous and I was asking dumb questions and then she got up and left.” Ruby, who also famously put the singer’s underwear on her head during the interview, explains why she did it. “I needed to end the show with some comedy,” she explained “She left her handbag so I rifled through it and found some of her underpants and put them on my head and started doing some comedy.

Funny chat between 2 gal pals! I love the bits which I imagine Goldie thought wouldn't be shown, where she hints that she's done enough for her money, very funny & revealing! I remember that this was in soft focus at the time, also the colour was slightly saturated, I imagine all requested by Ms Hawn's team, to give her a healthy, soft focus glow - unfortunately all these years later, on an old VHS, it just looks blurry! Enjoy!

Is she really funny? There's a lot of canned laughter on her most of her stuff!
Ruby Wax from Channel 4's 'Late License' strand with Rhona Cameron & Mark Lamar, you can see them at the end - 1989. No one's made a show like this before or since, so sit back, relax, and be prepared for the one & only Rubes as she meets the mad & the mundane at a motorway service station. Enjoy! I don't know why this hasn't come out in an HD format, but it probably wouldn't that much better.

Excellent compilation show from 1992! Special mention for the Joanna Lumley section, this was the first time Rube & JoJo Lumers met on screen (I think), it's just before Joanna started on AbFab, she had short, dark hair, and was in a massive career 'dip' if I remember rightly. It's really funny, and I have the other shows with Ms Lumley to follow ;-) Also features Terry Wogan, Jennifer Saunders, Joan Rivers, Mo Gaffney/ Taffy Turner, Torvill & Dean and the now almost forgotten Louis Anderson. Not great audio sorry, I did my best to improve it with Power Director. This type of sound usually means it was recorded in Long Play/ LP rather than Standard Play/ SP. Enjoy!

Fascinating insight into a deluded mind - BBC1 1996. Thank you for only commenting in ENGLISH. Even if you're not sure who the Marcos's are, this is a great comedy/documentary, Ruby's on top form, Imelda is so low on irony she doesn't notice Ruby insulting her right to her face ;-) A sweet, lovely, glamorous old lady - luckily the inserted archive footage reminds us otherwise! Ruby does a great job inculcating herself into Imelda's inner circle, watch out for Imelda's lawyer admitting the Marcos's have money that doesn't belong to them. Enjoy! (with some discomfort) ***If you're Philippian & love the Marcos's despite all of the evidence, please don't come on here and complain, and say how awful this is, or moan about me. Why don't you learn your true history, from a less bias perspe...

Slip into some fucked up shit with me
As night prepares yo' mind to sleep

And when you wake up you don't know where you at
Slip into some fucked up shit with me
Uh-huh.. this is Long Beach (MUR-DER)
[RBX]

And no, this ain't Compton and Long Beach together;

That was the sound of my double barreled shotgun
and there is no place to run
So if you're thinkin bout comin to Long Beach
Chip in, bullets will be zippin

Killa beats! Then I put the raps in
It's on it's on it's on and
we can bust a cap 'til the break of dawn
So now that you heard the warning
I welcome you - with open arms
Open FIRE arms {*BLAM BLAM*}
And we don't give a fuck about cars with alarms
It's a jack move nigga give it up is you crazy?
Glock 40 pointed to your head
BOOM! Now another nigga's dead.. (BLOODY MURDER)
[Chorus]
Slip into some fucked up shit with me
MURDER
Slip into some fucked up shit with me
BLOODY MURDER
Slip into some fucked up shit with me

BLOODY MURDER
[Outro: x4]
Slip into some fucked up shit with me
Murder dey, murder dem, murder dey, murder dem
