She'd be perfect in a re-filming of Great Expectations as Miss Haversham
"As an image of the withered bride jilted at the altar, living in a state of perpetual mourning for what might have been, she is magnificent."
"It is her appearance that is so haunting, dressed all in white, but of a white which had long ago “lost its lustre, and was faded and yellow”; a cross between a waxwork and a skeleton."
"And this brittle, damaged woman we begin by pitying comes to turn such misery both on Estella, the daughter she has brought up as her own, and Pip, the young man she champions and – in the end – betrays. She perceives herself as a defender of the rights of women – but her victories on men are so petty and so vindictive."
Typecasting at it's best!
