My Take
Coral Browne is the kind of actress I genuinely admire. Born in Melbourne in 1913, she conquered stage and screen across two continents, from Broadway's Macbeth to film and television. What floors me is that she won the BAFTA TV Award for An Englishman Abroad at seventy, proof that her edge only sharpened with age. By reputation she was famously sharp-tongued, and I love performers whose steel shows through. Hers is a career that argues against the idea that actresses fade; she simply got better. Long after her death in 1991, that uncompromising presence still commands respect from me.
