Georgina Hale (born Georgina A Hole 4 August 1943) is an English actress notable for many stage, film and television appearances; often in the works of director Ken Russell and writer Simon Gray. She won a BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer for her performance as Alma Mahler in the 1974 film, Mahler.

In 2010, Hale was featured in an article in the British newspaper The Guardian, where she was ranked third in a list of ten great character actors in British television.

Biography

Active au théâtre dès le milieu des années 1960, Georgina Hale a été formée à la Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, dont elle sort diplômée en 1965. Elle joue notamment dans La Comédie des erreurs de William Shakespeare (Royal Shakespeare Theatre de Stratford-upon-Avon, 1965, avec Ian Richardson), La Mouette d'Anton Tchekhov (Derby Playhouse, 1976, avec Alan Bates et Robert Flemyng), Conférence au sommet de Robert David MacDonald (Lyric Theatre de Londres, 1982, avec Glenda Jackson et Gary Oldman), ou encore The Guardsman de Ferenc Molnár (Albery Theatre de Londres, 2000, avec Greta Scacchi).

Au cinéma, après un petit rôle non crédité dans un film de 1963, ses deux films suivants sortis en 1971 sont Les Diables (avec Vanessa Redgrave et Oliver Reed) et The Boy Friend (avec Twiggy et Christopher Gable) de Ken Russell. Elle retrouve ce réalisateur par la suite, notamment sur le tournage de Mahler (1974), où son interprétation d'Alma Mahler (aux côtés de Robert Powell personnifiant Gustav Mahler) lui permet de gagner en 1975 le British Academy Film Award du meilleur nouveau venu dans un rôle principal.

Parmi ses vingt-deux autres films (majoritairement britanniques ou en coproduction, le dernier à ce jour sorti en 2015), citons Le Voyage des damnés de Stuart Rosenberg (1976, avec Faye Dunaway et Oskar Werner), Castaway de Nicolas Roeg (1986, avec Oliver Reed et Amanda Donohoe) et Preaching to the Perverted de Stuart Urban (1997, avec Guinevere Turner et Christien Anholt).

À la télévision britannique, Georgina Hale apparaît à ce jour dans cinquante-huit séries entre 1965 et 2016, dont Poigne de fer et séduction (un épisode, 1974), Doctor Who (épisode The Happiness Patrol, 1988) et Scotland Yard, crimes sur la Tamise (un épisode, 2002).

S'ajoutent dix téléfilms disséminés de 1973 à 2007, dont L'Île au trésor de Ken Russell (1995), libre adaptation du roman éponyme de Robert Louis Stevenson.

Based on actual events, this film tells the story of the 1939 voyage of the MS St. Louis, which departed from Hamburg carrying 937 Jews from Germany, ostensibly to Havana, Cuba. The passengers, having seen and suffered rising anti-Semitism in Germany, realised this might be their only chance to escape. The film details the emotional journey of the passengers who gradually become aware that their passage was planned as an exercise in propaganda, and that it had never been intended that they disembark in Cuba. Rather, they were to be set up as Pariahs, to set an example before the world. As a Nazi official states in the film, when the whole world has refused to accept them as refugees, no country can blame Germany for the fate of the Jews.

Rather than a straightforward narrative, the film presents Liszt's life through a series of episodes. At the start of the film, Liszt is caught in bed with Marie d'Agoult by her husband the Count d'Agoult. The Count challenges Liszt to a fight with sabres but Marie begs the count to let her share Liszt's fate. The Count then orders his staff to trap Liszt and Marie into the body of a piano, nailing it shut, and then leaving it on railroad tracks.

After a spectacular prelude, the film begins on a train journey with Gustav Mahler (Robert Powell) and his wife Alma (Georgina Hale) confronting their failing marriage. The story is then recounted in a series of flashbacks (some of which are surrealistic and nightmarish), taking one through Mahler's childhood, his brother's suicide, his experience with anti-semitism, his conversion from Judaism to Catholicism, his marital problems, and the death of his young daughter. The film also contains a surreal fantasy sequence involving the anti-Semitic Cosima Wagner (Antonia Ellis), widow of Richard Wagner, whose objections to his taking control of the Court Opera were supposedly removed by his conversion to Catholicism. In the process, the film explores Mahler's music and its relationship to his life.

After a failed escape attempt, the British Government offers him a chance for a return to limited power in France once again as a buffer against instability there, however on the point of departure he is afflicted by the symptoms of stomach cancer and the offer is in consequence withdrawn, leaving him entrapped on the island and exiting history's stage.
