The Best Actress That You Probably Never Heard About!

Anna Massey gave a radio interview about her autobiography. She was wonderful. She spoke about Sir Alfred Hitchcock being a prankster and her role in one of his last great films, Frenzy. She also writes about her friendships with the greats of today like the wonderful Alan Rickman and his partner Rima Horton when they traveled to Greece. She also writes forgivingly about her relationship with her parents. She writes about their numerous friends like Sir Noel Coward who nicknamed her mother, Plannie Addie. She writes lovingly about her brother, Daniel Massey, who they didn't speak to for years. She writes about her psychotherapy which helped her get through it. SHe finished school at 15 years old and didn't know where else to turn but acting. She also writes lovingly about Dame Celia Johnson. She writes about her failed marriage to Jeremy Brett, their son, and her wonderful second marriage and being a grandmother. Anna MAssey might be one of the best actress. She writes about getting her CBE from the Queen, her doubts, fears, accomplishments, successes, etc. Maybe she will get Damehood one day, I hope. She has had one of the greatest careers ever not much help with her father though but she choses to look past the bad and ugly to the good and beautiful about people.
