Isla Blair's 6 best books

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Isla Blair played the wife of Walter Donovan, a wealthy American industrialist and collector of antiquities who allied himself with the Nazis in order to get the Holy Grail, which he sought for its fabled gift of immortality. Today in Britain she may be better known for television roles in The History Man, The Final Cut, A Touch Of Frost and Single Father.

One of her six best books, as told to the Daily Express:

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee

A wonderful story seen through the eyes of a young girl about the injustice of life in the American South when a black man is wrongly accused of raping a white woman. Atticus Finch, the hero, reminded me of my father. We lived in India at the end of the Raj and my father never understood why Indians weren't allowed into the British "club".
