How do Dempsey and Makepeace look today? In the Czech Republic, they once inspected an onion plant

The British crime series Dempsey and Makepeace, which began filming in 1984, changed the lives of the two main actors from the ground up. When they found themselves in front of the cameras for the first time, neither of them thought that this meeting would be fateful. The series, which has three series and 31 episodes, takes place in London. NYPD Lieutenant James Dempsey, played by Michael Brandon, arrives there as part of an exchange program. Sergeant Harriet Makepeace is assigned as his sidekick. The charming English agent from a wealthy family was brilliantly portrayed by Glynis Barber, who actually comes from South Africa.

Journey Through Life: Glynis Barber and Michael Brandon:

The spark between the cocky loud American and the elegant and cultured British lady, whose blue eyes and perfectly coiffed blonde hair were admired by all, carried over from the set to real life. But it wasn’t right away. It wasn’t love at first sight.

At first they hated each other

“Michael was really loud. When I came home to my boyfriend at the time after filming, I confided in him that this guy is a nightmare and I have no idea how I’m going to work with him,” said Glynis, recalling their first meeting. The tension between them wasn’t really just part of the script.

But the British newspaper Daily Mail recalled that Glynis’s opinion of Michael, who was not at all enthusiastic about her at first, changed during the filming. Their relationship began to develop in real life as well. The serial partners eventually became life partners. But it wasn’t right away.

Both had already had failed marriages, and after the end of the series, they first broke up for a while.

But in the end, they made a beautiful couple in real life as well. They got married in 1989, have a 32-year-old son, Alexander, and are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary this year. In addition to love, they are also united by a common sense of humor.

They were united by love and humor

“Michael and I have always had a very exciting, passionate and also somewhat conflicted relationship. You’d think things would change a bit after all these years. I have to admit that we have both calmed down and matured, but we are still quite unstable. Maybe this is our secret to a happy marriage. It must never, under any circumstances, be boring,” Glynis Barber told Britain’s Daily Mail.

Although the couple thought about breaking up several times, they always realized in time that their love for each other was too strong.

Still beautiful Glynis

It’s hard to believe that Glynis Barber, the actress with bright blue eyes, glowing skin and honey blonde hair, turned 68 last fall. He always keeps in shape and looks great. What is the secret of her beauty, she revealed to the Mirror newspaper.

“Health and wellness is my hobby. Everyone’s doing it now, but when I started people thought I was weird,” Glynis Barber told the Mirror, adding that she’s been practicing yoga since 1984 and used to go to the gym several times a week years ago.

A healthy organic diet, meditation and yoga classes where she exercises and strengthens at home using online fitness videos from YouTube help her stay fit even today.

The guaranteed thing he recommends to everyone is to exercise. “Sitting is modern smoking. If you get up in the morning, exercise, and just sit around for the rest of the day, it’s really bad for you. Get up and go. If you get up for a cup of tea, at least walk around the kitchen,” advises the actress.

According to her, mental health, which she takes care of, is just as important. She was mainly led to take care of him by feelings of anxiety that appeared in her a few years ago. Therefore, he performs breathing exercises every day and also uses meditation, which are easily available in the form of various applications.

“It helps clear my mind, especially when I’m stressed, and it also works as a sleeping pill,” says Glynis Barber.

Inquiries from fans about her skin care and fitness regime led her to start her own brand, under which she offers cosmetics and healthy lifestyle advice. According to her, the key to beautiful aging and a happy life is clearly health.
