 A highly regarded stage actress who went straight from RADA to the RSC, doing a series of Shakespearean heroines, including a brilliant Isabella in Measure for Measure (1983-84), as well as some striking modern plays such as Death and the Maiden. She is best known to filmgoers for her poignant performance as the woman coming to terms with grief and new love in the popular romance, Truly Madly Deeply (d. Anthony Minghella, 1990), but has had no comparable starring opportunity since, though she was properly grating as the egregious Mrs Elton in Emma (UK/US, d, Douglas McGrath, 1996).
