Biography

Elle a étudié l'art dramatique à la Royal Academy of Dramatic Art de Londres et devient dans les années 60 une habituée des pièces de théâtre mais aussi très présente dans les séries télévisées britanniques apportant une fragilité et authenticité dans des rôles dramatiques comme Lorna Doone et Jane Eyre à la BBC.

Après avoir échoué à obtenir le rôle principal dans Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir, elle voit sa popularité augmentée lors de sa nomination pour le Golden Globe du meilleur rôle en costumes avec Le Lion en hiver en 1968. En 1971, elle déménage pour les Etats-Unis afin de poursuivre sa carrière. Elle participera à un grand nombre de films et téléfilms ainsi que des séries populaires comme Mission Impossible (épisode "La Liaison (Lover's Knot)" de la saison 4), L'Incroyable Hulk ou L'Homme qui valait trois milliards.

Dans les années 90, elle retourne en Angleterre pour diriger des affaires familiales. Elle est en outre productrice et scénariste de documentaires et de courts métrages. Après des années d'absence, elle fait son grand retour sur les planches en 2009 avec la compagnie de théâtre Idaho Shakespeare Company. Elle partage désormais son temps entre la ville de Boise en Idaho et Londres.

Morgan Delt (David Warner) is a failed artist and son of communist parents who own a fish and chips shop in downmarket London. His upper-class wife, Leonie (Vanessa Redgrave), has given up on him and has just secured a divorce in order to marry Charles Napier (Robert Stephens), an art gallery owner of her own social standing. Given the innately rich and personal world of fantasy Morgan has locked himself into, he goes off the deep end. He performs a series of bizarre stunts in a campaign to win back Leonie, including putting a skeleton in Leonie's bed, blowing up her bed as Leonie's mother is on it, and crashing her wedding dressed as a gorilla, for which scene Reisz borrows clips from the original King Kong film to illustrate Morgan's fantasy world.
