Mary Millar

Mary Millar earns my admiration as a true all-rounder of British performance. Born Irene Mary Wetton in Doncaster, she moved fluidly between stage, film, television and song, a versatility that's increasingly rare. Originating the role of Madame Giry in The Phantom of the Opera and later playing Rose in Keeping Up Appearances shows a performer equally at home in grand theatre and warm sitcom comedy. I find that range quietly impressive, because it demands very different instincts. Though she passed in 1998, the breadth of her work suggests a craftswoman who served every production she joined, and I respect that generosity of talent.
