Fenella Fielding

Fenella Fielding fascinates me as a true original. Rising through the 1950s and '60s British scene, she turned a husky voice and a knowing, seductive manner into an art form, earning that wonderful tag, England's first lady of the double entendre. Delivering suggestive wordplay with genuine elegance demands real intelligence and impeccable timing, and she had both in abundance. That she received an OBE in 2018, the very year she died, feels like a fitting bow at the end of a singular career. I have deep admiration for performers who carve out a style entirely their own, and Fielding absolutely did.
