Focusing on the representation of ageing actresses in British cinema, this book explores the evolution of female characters from the 1930s to today. It examines how figures like Maggie Smith and Sybil Thorndike reflect societal views on ageing femininity, contrasting British cinema's development with Hollywood's portrayals. Through analyses of films such as Blithe Spirit and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, it contextualizes these characters within historical events, including the Second World War and the women's movement. Claire Mortimer, a film historian, authored this insightful work.
