I'm so glad someone mentioned her ;-) I thought of her numerous times, but
never posted about it. The most recent time I thought of it was when watching
Peter's Friends on cable. It's a film from the nineties (I think) with Ken
Branagh, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Imelda Staunton. It's a
wonderful film.
I recognized her from David Copperfield and other things and I agree, she can
be deceptively sweet and looks like she can be quite nasty (even though, like
you said, the parts I've seen her in she is not nasty). She also has roughly
the right physical appearance (with the addition of those awful bows, of
course!).
