Reporter: Was Eddie Murphy serious off camera? Marsha Thomason : Eddie and I laughed a lot but he is quiet and reserved. There is definitely a pressure for funny people to be funny. People want them to perform all the time. But we got on well.
Reporter: Is America now your home? Marsha: I have a house in London and a place in LA and I'm bouncing between the two. It's very nice because I fly first class now and that makes the world of difference.

Marsha: When I am on the plane and turbulence kicks in I can't abide it. I feel like we are all going to die and it takes everything in me to stay calm.
