NOTE


She became famous outside UK for her quite memorable role in "Born Free"(1966) in which she played a guardian of a lovely lioness Elsa. As her appearance in other countries' (especially American) movies is rather rare, so I haven't watched so many of her movies yet. One reason for her rare appearance in American movies, I guess, might be due to her strong British accent, so strong as even I, as a Japanese, can easily detect it. Even though she couldn't be classified as such sort of actress as frequently referred to as quite glamorous, I think her performance is quite steady and reliable like other stable but not so sumptuous British actresses.
