Anne Reid

[Marky B]

After watching her on tonight's Paul O Grady Show,I commented that she was from Teesside,but on looking her up on the IMDB and Wikipaedia,they both say she is from Newcastle Upon Tyne. I swear I once read she was from Stockton. Althought the same source said Wendy Craig was from nearby Yarm,but she is actually from Sacriston,which is further north.

I love Anne Reid - she was wonderful in dinnerladies (but then so was everyone) and she's a fine dramatic actress too as The Mother demonstrated.

She most certainly is, for the best part of ten years she was Valerie Tatlock/Barlow in Coronation Street, but left to start a family and she could not be persuaded to stay, Anne is also playing Barbara Cartland in a TV drama this Sunday

In the new Radio Times she talks about her current favourite programmes.

I saw her on stage a few years back as The Mother in "A Taste Of Honey". She was brilliant.

She was in Happy Now? at the Cottesloe earlier this year and very good she was too.

She is a wonderful lady, special in the Booze Cruise and Dinner Ladies :-)

She gave a wonderful comic performance in Hot Fuzz.

Did anyone hear Anne Reid as guest on Michael Ball's Sunday Brunch with Eamon Holmes sitttiing in. Her muscial choices were first class,"Erroll Flynn" by Barbara Cook, a piece by pianist Bill Evans and "I'M Feeling To Good Today," by Peggy Lee, a track rarely heard nowadays but often played on the radio especially by Terry Wogan as Anne Reid point out.

I most certainly did bhowells and very enjoyable it was too, I'd not heard of Barbara Cook before and Anne said she was/is an obsessive fan when it came to Barbara just like Ann Baxter's character in All about Eve, she had a sound of Streisand before Streisand!
