Sinéad Cusack

I have enormous respect for actors like Sinéad Cusack, who built a career on stagecraft rather than celebrity. Starting at Dublin's Abbey Theatre and crossing to the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1969 tells you everything: this is someone who chose the hard, unglamorous discipline of live theatre and stayed faithful to it for decades. Her Evening Standard and Critics' Circle wins for Our Lady of Sligo weren't gifted, they were earned night after night. In an era obsessed with instant fame, I find her kind of quiet, durable artistry genuinely moving and worth celebrating.

Jane Moira "Sinéad" Cusack ( shin-AYD; born 18 February 1948) is an Irish actress. Her first acting roles were at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, before moving to London in 1969 to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. She has won the Critics' Circle and Evening Standard Awards for her performance in Sebastian Barry's Our Lady of Sligo.
