Thanks for the tip-off! I'd seen this on her IMDB page and was looking forward to it!
Keep an eye out for A GERMAN LIFE, the one-woman play she did at The Bridge Theatre in London in 2019. It's been/being filmed, not sure whether theatrical or TV release?
At the risk of being churlishly pedantic, can I mention that the general format for addressing a DBE is "Dame Maggie" rather than "Dame Smith". And why it is the opposite with a Lord and a Lady is something I am clueless about! (I think Joan Plowright was made "Lady Olivier" before she got her DBE, so the "Dame Joan" tag might never have been used all that much.)
Of course very few actors have risen to Lord and Lady status: Laurence Olivier, Richard Attenborough, Bernard Miles and Brian Rix plus two whose identities were more diverse: Julian Fellowes and Michael Cashman.
Hope I have my details right! |
