Dame Edith Evans (1888-1976) was one of the UK’s finest stage actresses of the twentieth century. She made her professional debut in 1912 as Cressida in Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, and went on to excel in the West End and on Broadway, as well as the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon. She was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1946 and granted three honorary degrees for the universities of London, Oxford, and Cambridge in the early 1950s. Once transitioning from stage to film, Dame Edith won a Golden Globe and the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Whisperers, and earned three Oscar nominations throughout her career. |
