I have known Sian since the early 80s. She was and remains a great friend. She is kind, considerate and very funny. Hard to believe that at 91 she is still working and doing a two-hander, no less. I now live in Fort Lauderdale and there isn't much chance of my getting to the UK to see her. But, she is a remarkable woman and actor. There's a pretty good documentary on BritBox (I think) about Peter O'Toole, and, having been married to him, she is in it a lot. Her marriage to him was difficult, as she wrote in her autobiography. Nevertheless, her praise of him on the show is effusive. When I questioned her about it, she said she always felt he wasn't given the proper respect as an actor. It's worth a look just to see Sian. I adore her, quite simply. |
