  • Trivia
    Met her husband Robert Muller at a party given by Bob Monkhouse. She said it had been a very calm, very quiet understanding of the fact that this was the man who would be the father of her child. And she added she hadn't doubted it for a second.
  • Quotes
    About how she found her cottage in Suffolk: "I ended up at an estate agent's in Sudbury and the chap, knowing I was an actress and imagining that I had Elizabeth Taylor finances, brought out details of all these places that Paul Getty would have been happy with. I said to him: 'Now, listen. Most of my parts are played at the Royal Court or the RSC and I barely make enough to pay my parking tickets. What I'm after is something totally run down, something that no one else would touch.' - He said: 'Get in the car.' And he drove me here."
  • Trademark
      Playing intensely independent, often fearsome women.
