Jessica Tandy

Jessica Tandy embodies the very idea of the Triple Crown of acting for me. An Oscar, four Tony Awards, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and an Emmy, across more than a hundred stage productions and sixty screen roles, is a body of work that borders on superhuman. What truly moves me is that she won her Academy Award for Driving Miss Daisy at eighty, proof that her artistry deepened with age rather than fading. From London to American stages and screens, hers is the kind of summit only the patient and devoted ever reach. I hold her in genuine awe.
