British television presenter and actress Sarah Greene joins artist Stephen B Whatley for a private viewing of his recently commissioned iconic portraits of the Princes William and Harry; recently published in HELLO! magazine. The paintings are on display by appointment for a short period at Argyll Etkin Ltd in Mayfair, London UK; before being shipped to their owners in the USA.
Sarah Greene is one of the most beautiful, eloquent, talented and sparkling personalities to have ever graced British television screens; the airwaves of radio and the British theatre.
She first achieved fame and stardom in the early 1980s as one of the most popular presenters of the BBC TV programme,Blue Peter - which in 2008 has celebrated its 50th anniversary as the longest running childrens' programme.
Sarah was acclaimed for her natural delight and empathy with children which comes from her kindness of heart - as Stephen B Whatley found, touched by her beauty, when he painted her portrait in 1996 (Sarah went on to commission from Stephen a portrait - from photographs- of her husband, the acclaimed radio and television broadcaster Mike Smith as a Christmas surprise in 1997; and in 1998, a large riverscape view of the River Thames, which Stephen painted on location)
Sarah Greene has gone on to have an eclectic career in television, radio and the theatre (she has a natural apptitude for both drama and comedy) moving effortlessly from children's television into a colourful variety of documentaries, current affairs programmes and drama.
Most recently, during 2008 she has been heard broadcasting on BBC Radio London and interviewed in a recent BBC television special celebrating the 50th anniversary of Blue Peter and its stars- looking as radiant as ever.
In May 2008 Sarah Greene and her husband Mike Smith were ever the glamorous couple in the limelight at The Sony Radio Academy Awards in London ceremony. Sarah and Mike actually met in 1981 ; and in 1988 they made national news headlines when their private helicopter crashed, severely injuring them both. Happily they both survived.
Twenty years on they have been happily married since 1989; and ironically- given the near-tragedy they suffered- Mike Smith has gone on to forge an additional career in helicopters - he runs his company Flying TV, the UK's No.1 provider of aerial filming to major news and TV broadcasters - for which he is in great demand.
Sarah Greene is currently filming a pilot for a new series that is sure to be a hit when it reaches fruition- ever the adventurer, Sarah is sure to make her new inspired idea a hit on television in 2009.
