Quote of the Day

"There's a certain set of features that I have that seems to attract people to cast me as a sort of a hard bitten type...if I was built a certain way, I'd be playing sort of all the sweet cuddly nanny figures."


Harriet Walter about roles as an older woman, to Jenni Murray, BBC 4 - listen to the podcast here


(Oh boy! This play Harriet Walter is in, Women Beware Women at the National Theatre, which incidentally is on my horizon, should be interesting to say the least.  And thank you, Harriet Walter, for NOT playing the sweet cuddly nanny figures.)
