Maybe the one I enjoyed playing most was A Month in the Country.

They still had the Lord Chamberlain, so we had this idiotic censorship. We were allowed three Jesus Christs instead of 10. Why three were OK, I don't know.

I think, by and large, the level of acting is mediocre. When I go to the theatre, I get so angry. I don't go.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.
