AN excellent profile of British actress Alison Steadman at The Times.
On the eve of the opening of her new play, a revival of Alan Bennett’s Enjoy, with a packed house and rave reviews, the director Christopher Luscombe asked his leading lady what more she wanted from life? Steadman, now 62, smiled, not thinking of Broadway transfers or Olivier awards. “More wildlife holidays,” she announced firmly. “And she absolutely meant it,” laughs Luscombe.
Steadman’s range and versatility has enabled her to adorn a wide range of parts, including Mrs Bennett in Pride & Prejudice.
