Julia McKenzie

[stuart.scot]

I saw part of ITV3s Marlple the other day. I was interested in the dinner scene between Joan Collins and Julia McKenzie's Miss. Jane Marlple. Joan said to Jane



We're about the same age



But I look every bit my age, replied Jane



I looked at both women and thought the only reason for that was the hat and tweed suit Miss. Marple was wearing. If she'd been wearing the same outfit or something similair as Joan, then I believe Julia would have emerged the more attractive of the two

[CaptainWaggett]

They're both marvellous but to be fair to Dame Joanie, Julia is actually 8 years younger than her In Real Life.



And while checking that, I found that the latest Marple (The Mirror Crack'd with Lindsay Duncan as the film star) has already been shown in Norway

To compare:







Julia McKenzie - aged 69 and.....







.....Joan Collins who will be 157 years old next birthday.



Ms. Collins has taken the precaution of having herself preserved in wax; she got the idea from watching Carry On Screaming.

Which one is the wax Joan?



She looks fine in the second picture.



The first one looks like she is going out for Halloween.

I would like to associate myself with the above remarks but lets not forget what a great singer Julia is superb in Side by Side by Sondheim and not forgetting the definitive version of Losing My Mind.

[didi-5]

Yes, superb singer. That part of her career is so often overlooked.

A screencap of Julia McKenzie as Hester Fields in the episode Hook, Line And Sink Her (1984) from the comedy series Fresh Fields.

[faginsgirl]

And the best Marple (apart from Margret Rutherford) IMO

Not by Sondheim fans

Are there any more Marple films coming out in 2011?



In 2010 she did:



Marple: The Pale Horse (TV movie)

Marple: The Blue Geranium (TV movie)

Marple: The Secret of Chimneys (TV movie)

Marple: The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side (TV movie)



But I can't find any info on the next ones (if there are going to be).



I hope so.



Anyone have any info?



Thanks,



James

[Windthrop]

She has also been a distinguished and regular performer in west end tranfers of Alan Ayckbourn's plays - Communicating Doors and Woman in Mind to name two

Maybe a victim of ITVs finances. They have now done all the Marple novels IIRC but there are still short stories to do and non-Marple novels to adapt. Maybe Endless Night will end up with MM in it

I hope so. I can watch the ones I have over and over again but it would be nice to have some new stuff as well.

Here are two pictures of Julia McKenzie and Anton Rodgers in character as Hester and William Fields from the 1980's sitcom Fresh Fields, both pictures are from 1984, these two pictures are from Rex Features and i have enlarged both of them for Julia McKenzie's Thread.

[billy farmer]

A TV Times feature about Julia McKenzie from the January 7th - 13th 1978 issue of TV Times and also a TV listing from the same issue of TV Times for an episode of Maggie And Her which was shown on friday January 13th 1978.
