My Take
Kate O'Mara had the kind of versatility I always respect in performers who refuse to be boxed in. From her 1963 stage debut in The Merchant of Venice, she moved fluidly between theatre, film and television, and then added novelist to the list, which speaks to a restless creative appetite. Stage-trained actors carry a presence on screen that is hard to fake, and that grounding clearly served her across decades. She passed in 2014, but what stays with me is less any single role than her longevity and breadth. Lasting that long in a fickle industry is its own kind of achievement.
