Wow! Wot a stunna…!!
Saw her twice on stage as it happens. Once at the National Theatre in the early 70s playing opposite Anthony Hopkins. He was Macbeth, she was Lady Macbeth. Believe it or not, they both turned in lousy performances! God but it was a dire production. Hopkins already had a drink problem by that point, I think.
Then, in the 90s, saw her at a much smaller theatre (so got to see her close up, phwoarrr!), the Almeida, playing Andromache in the play by Euripides. She was terrific. A real Amazon. And she must have been the wrong side of 50 by then, but she was still a stunna…
