Daily BirthdaysEleanor Bron Forum

| by Ezrha Jean Black Eleanor Bron & am mad for anything else she's written (or read -- a practiced hand with Spark roles (e.g., Brodie), she apparently reads Spark for an audio collection of her stories). Recall of course that she's a writer from Cambridge - Establishment/Committee/TWTWTAS days -- satirist with a silken touch -- & actress whose ineffable talent make her a treasure in almost anything she plays. She slips, elides into her characters so smoothly & brilliantly that performance becomes almost too well inset into texture of film. It's professionally seamless rather than a star turn. For that reason, among others, I think, she hasn't had the star profile she so richly deserves. But her films would be at such a loss without her. When you think back on them (Bedazzled, & too many to list), you remember how perfect she was, the delight you took in her performance. She should be published widely -- & heard & SEEN far more often than she is. Comment on this... |
