Giovanna Fletcher - Biography

"When I was six years old my schoolteacher asked the class what we'd like to be when we grew up. Much to her surprise, I ignored all the sensible answers of a nurse, teacher or policewoman, and declared I wanted to be a millionaire and marry Michael Jackson," says Giovanna Fletcher.
