Saga Magazine

1 July 2022

Welcome to your July issue of Saga Magazine, we hope it finds you well. This month, we’ve got glamorous icon Marilyn Monroe on our cover. Ahead of a major new film about her life and two new documentaries airing, we look at why we’re all still mad about the Hollywood star. In a packed issue, Father Ted’s Ardal O’Hanlon talks about everything from writing his second novel to losing his hair. We also catch up with Baroness Floella Benjamin, who chats about turning down David Bowie and talking to The Queen about racism. And one of Britain’s best loved actors, Sheila Hancock, reveals what makes her really cross in her ninth decade. There are some fascinating features too, such as the later-lifers who are starting afresh in the Orkney Islands and the women who have found ways to boost their pension pots. With the temperature rising, we’re getting set for summer with soft top cars, and some brilliant holiday reads, stylish fashion and beauty must-haves to pack in your suitcase. There’s also lots of travel inspiration, including art-themed river cruises, a luxurious private jet tour and a California road trip. Our brilliant regular columnists such as Jeremy Paxman, Jenni Murray, Susie Dent, Danny Clarke, vet Bruce Fogle, and money expert Paul Lewis are all here, plus we’ve got retro pudding recipes from Paul Hollywood, as well as your favourite regular features on gardening, health, puzzles, antiques and much more. We hope you enjoy your Saga Magazine.
