In a series for the BBC News website, Celebrities and news-makers are grilled by Matthew Stadlen in precisely five minutes. In this video, Matt talks to Fiona Shaw.
Have seen her many many times on stage and she always gives 110%. London Assurance of which she talks was hysterical, Machinal, Mother Courage, Richard II etc. Now watching her in Killing Eve and she's equally brilliant. She has the indefinable "it" factor that makes her compelling to watch. Great actress.
Oh my God what a woman I love these random 5-minute-any-question interviews, a lot more than the professional ones. It makes you feel so close to the person.
I actually found her accent got stronger the more she spoke. Her accent is probably milder than it used to be through years of drama school and training but you can still hear the Irish.
This is possibly one of the greatest actresses alive and definitely the most underrated. A lady of absolute substance.
asking her to unfold her arms? wtf?!
I know!
I find it so strange that she was asked to unfold her arms.....let her do what she wants weirdos
Right
This woman is so woderfully perfect!
Fiona Shaw is refreshing as an actor and so passionate in all her deliveries. Posh and highly skilled.
