Personal Quote:

When I first started acting, and we would all sit down and talk about Shakespeare and how great it was, I thought well, I suppose it is. It is if you get to play Macbeth or Hamlet. But who wants to play bloody Lady Macbeth or Ophelia? And it struck me that most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God. See more »

Trivia:

Famously clashed with director David Lean on the set of A Passage to India (1984). See more »

Trademark:

Known for her pale, chalky complexion. See more »
