ONE of Miss Morrison's biggest fans is also one of her biggest success stories.

Film actress Rachel Grant (pictured with Pierce Brosnan), from Mapperley, attended the Morrison School of Dancing throughout her childhood and youth.

She went on to star in James Bond film Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan and now lives and works in Hollywood.

"Miss Morrison is truly amazing. My years at her school were magical," said Rachel.

"She has inspired not only me but countless other children from Nottingham who have gone on to accomplish amazing feats in performance.

"For example, Michael Stojko, a soloist with the Royal Ballet Company, and Jenny Sealey, who became deaf at the age of six. Miss Morrison encouraged her to continue with dance and Jenny is now artistic director of The Graeae Company in London, the UK's leading disabled theatre company."

Rachel's sister Rebecca, another Morrison School of Dancing protege, is a further success story; she currently plays beautiful nurse Daisha Anderson in Holby City.
