Diana Quick
We have another mention in the Daily Mail newspaper. It’s in Friday’s newspaper and is also online. Lots of pics (one from the film) as well as coverage of Diana’s life and her role next week (Thursday) in the Channel 4 drama about the Queen.
Be warned, there is a minor spoiler in the article (and photo) concerning Diana’s character. Those who turned up at the church as extras will already know her role of course, but for everyone else, be warned. It’s not a major plot point, but it was supposed to be a bit of a surprise. Never mind, the major twist has stayed secret and will remain secret for as long as possible!!
So here’s the link:
Daily Mail article
and here’s the part of the article where she talks about Love/Loss:
She has just finished filming an eagerly-anticipated romantic British movie called Love/Loss, in which she stars with Virginia McKenna and Keith Michell. It is a charming story about a couple – McKenna and Michell – who were childhood sweethearts and are reunited after 60 years.
Miss Quick plays a newcomer to their village who befriends McKenna and gives her advice.
‘For a lot of the film, you don’t know what I am. There’s a slight hint that I might be an angel, but at the end it’s revealed that I’m a vicar. I’ve never played a priest before, and there’s been a lot of discussion about how I should look.
‘I couldn’t get Dawn French as the Vicar of Dibley out of my mind, and there was a danger that if I wore my hair in a certain way, I would look like her. There was also a debate on whether I could wear red nail varnish on my toes. One school of thought was it would look frivolous.
‘In the end, I played it as slightly more sophisticated than Dibley’s vicar, and not so ditzy, either.’
