I remember thinking that she looked the same (if not actually younger) than her Madam Mingott moment -- which was the first role I knew her in. She is truly one of those old-school British theatre greats. I love that blend of Britishness: plummy and formal, but then with a streak of unexpected earthiness.<br /><br />What a FAB story! I'm so glad that<br />Fantastic Forrest point me in your direction.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-63877935008050878732011-02-05T22:57:22.989-05:002011-02-05T22:57:22.989-05:00That camp sounds hilarious and smelly all at the s...That camp sounds hilarious and smelly all at the same time.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477976300026766137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-12771051992492194192011-02-05T17:06:00.167-05:002011-02-05T17:06:00.167-05:00How marvellous!
