I think Juliet Stevenson is more well-known as a Shakespearean stage
actress, rather than movie actress, but she's appeared in several TV roles,
and several less widely-known movies.  A search on Google.com will give you
quite a few sites.  I saw her recently in a British mini-series called The
Politician's Wife, where she was brilliant.  She played the wife of an
adulterous politician and has to make the decision whether to leave, or
stand by him.  Great stuff.

I've also seen her in a very different role - being interviewed by Ruby Wax
for Ruby's show (a hint - Ruby is VERY good friends with Jennifer Saunders
from AbFab) where she tries to show all her many and varied sides.  It's
next to impossible to do credit to the skit here - it has to be seen to be
appreciated - but it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen!  She
really is an incredible actress!

I haven't seen Truly, Madly, Deeply yet, but I think I might have to rent it
tomorrow!
