My Take
Joanna Pettet belongs to that generation of stage-trained actors I find easy to admire, the kind who earned their stripes in the theatre before the screen. Born in London in 1942 and Canadian-English by background, she won a Theatre World Award in 1965, which tells me her early stage work made an immediate impression on critics. I like that the recognition came so quickly and on the boards rather than from a single splashy film role. There's something honest about a career that starts with live audiences. To me she reads as a working actress of her era, more craftsperson than celebrity, and that earns my respect.
