The Lady in the Van cuts a lot of onion for me. RIP.

I was fortunate enough to see her in that on stage. She and Nick Farrell were on top form. It's a highlight.

I shed real tears when I saw that she had passed. The other week, with James Earl Jones, as well. We're losing a generation of actors with real, deep roots in theatre, who then adapted to TV and cinema as those media matured. They're a bridge generation, and their experience will not be replicated. The profession and the culture are the poorer for their loss.
