- piltdownman 2y agoYeah she was a big loss, a 60s bond girl and all-round sex symbol who went on to completely transcend that label and developed into a serious thespian and RSC/Old Vic stalwart. She absolutely holds her own as the Wife of Olivier's Lear. I'm delighted she got to work with Edgar Wright before her death and put in a great turn in Last Night in Soho; I'd a big fear she'd peter out with a few Dr.Who episodes in a fairly unceremonious end to a glittering and exremely accomplished career.
- kitd 2y agoOne of her last roles was in the fantastic BBC comedy "Detectorists" where she played the mother of Rachael Stirling, her daughter in real life. There was definitely a big hole when series 2 came out without her.
