“She was effortlessly commanding and captivating as an actor, as well as being kind, generous and incredibly good fun as a person.

“Also, as it happens, she’s one of the absolute coolest people I’ve ever met, in that I can’t ever imagine her being flustered or nervous, she always seemed totally assured of who she was and what she was doing.”
