Dead now of course / Phyllida Law. by Law, Phyllida, 1932- 4th Estate, an imprint of HarperCollins UK, 2017. Call #: 791.43028 L416d Subjects Law, Phyllida, 1932-   Thompson, Eric, 1929-1982.   Actors and actresses -- Great Britain -- Biography.   Television actors and actresses -- Great Britain -- Biography.   Motion picture actors and actresses -- Great Britain -- Biography. ISBN:  9780008244743 (hc.) Description:  130 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 21 cm. Summary:  'My future mother-in-law burst into tears when she heard her son was to marry an actress. There's still something disturbing, I grant you, about the word "actress". If an MP or some other outstanding person plays fast and loose with an actress the world is unsurprised. She is certainly no better than she should be, and probably French...' As well as being a mother (to the actresses Sophie and Emma Thompson), Phyllida Law is also a distinguished actress, and this is the tale of her early acting career. As a young member of a travelling company, Phyllida learned to cope with whatever was thrown at her, from making her own false eyelashes to battling flammable costumes and rogue cockroaches. We find her in Mrs Miller's digs, which were shared with a boozy monkey bought from Harrods, an Afghan hound known as the 'the flying duster', several hens and various children. Filled with funny, charming anecdotes, a fascinating picture of life in the theatre - and at the heart of the story is an enchanting account of Phyllida's courtship with her future husband, the actor and writer Eric Thompson. Phyllida Law's television appearances include Dixon of Dock Green, Rumpole of the Bailey and the 1972 adaptation of the Lord Peter Wimsey tale The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club. She appeared in films such as Peter's Friends (1992), Much Ado About Nothing (1993) (playing Ursula, alongside daughter Emma as Beatrice) and The Winter Guest (1997) (playing Elspeth, alongside daughter Emma as Frances).
