My Take
Lorraine Ashbourne strikes me as the kind of grounded, locally-rooted British actor the industry quietly depends on. Born in Manchester and educated at the University of Manchester, she never left her home turf far behind, and there is something admirable about that steadiness. I tend to value performers like her, who reinforce a production from the supporting ranks rather than chasing the spotlight. To me, she represents the unglamorous craftsmanship that makes ensembles believable, and that is precisely why she deserves more recognition than she gets.
