Episode 11 - Cilla Black

Believer: Since being 3 years old, Cilla wanted to be a star.  She followed her dreams to become a singer, and then became the most successful and highest paid female tv presenter with a 50 year career in show business. Her story shows the tremendous power of self belief, but also as her Liverpudlian contemporaries sang, that we get by with a little help from our friends. 

"I can't say I was surprised I was successful, I was determined and I got it."
