  5. The longevity of her career, the awards she won, the acclaim she achieved across ALL three mediums of acting – film, television and theatre.

    Few have had what this woman reached within her lifetime. An icon and legend of British acting…….

  14. Did she quit acting to focus on her family or something? Cause there’s a gigantic gap in the middle. Can someone explain?
