Celia Imrie

Very few actors today have such a lengthy list of credits for television, film and the stage that Celia Imrie has amassed in the past 37 years. You have to wonder if she's ever had a day off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celia_Imrie
Here are a few films you probably won't find at the local video store. In some of these films Celia only had a supporting role, but that is typical of her long and successful career.
The Return Of The Native, the only film adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel.

The Gathering Storm was actually broadcast in the US (HBO) before it was shown in the UK. This film is one of the last appearances of Ronnie Barker.
