I served Edward and Joanna yesterday. I had no idea who they were until I was told today, and I can promise without even knowing that they were celebs I couldn’t stop saying how wonderfully lovely they both were.Truly my absolute favourite customers so far they were wonderful
What a loving family they are, her father is so proud of his children and you can already see the feelings he has for his unborn grandchild, beautiful to watch
"But I am very fond of music. I should dearly love to hear you play. My brother has told me he has rarely heard anything that gave him more pleasure." This is Emilia Fox, alias Georgiana Darcy, in Pride and Prejudice (1995). Never have I heard English pronounced more beautifully, with such a soft voice and suave sentence melody. When Emilia Fox/Georgiana spoke, English became music.
That was the very first movie I ever saw with Edward Fox in it and the first adult thriller that I understood as a young kid. I must have been 11 or 12 at the time and I remember the watermelon scene and the name Charles Calthrop. He was excellent in that. The first time I saw Emilia was when she played Darcy's sister in the brilliant 1995 TV series of "Pride and Prejudice".
DAY OF THE JACKAL(1975) An almost perfect film with wonderful performances by the entire cast, headed by James Fox & Michael Lonsdale. Directed by Fred Zinnemann
Probably, at least in part, still on the BBC DVD which they're doubtless anxious to sell you - that's where most of the episodes are anyway...but you might be lucky...they've released a few complete episodes!
This is so... peculiar. James is almost indistinguishable from the character he played in Midsomer Murders! The beard, the posh accent, the gentle way of talking and behaving.... Only difference is that James is normal and his character was rather quaint.
Still looking v attractive into his 80s. I was watching Edward & Mrs Simpson last year. This side of the family do alot for orphans abroad. Shame Laurence had to cast a shadow. What a lovely lad her little brother is.
Nothing wrong with Laurence, just saw an interview with his father James and James is not happy with the way the actor's union treated Laurence when there were plenty of actors that did bad things Kevin Spacey comes to mind.
Barrie Hellon-Warwick it has gotten better though. Most actors who come out of RADA these days don’t sound nearly as posh as that (and are allowed to keep their regional accents). Also, voices that tend to be plummy can become more relaxed over time (look at Patrick Stewart for example. He doesn’t sound as plummy as he probably did in the 60’s). I mean, I did watch Charlie and the chocolate factory with her dad as a kid (movie came out when I was 6; went to see it in theatres with my first grade class), never really paid attention or noticed the pluminess.
For a family that is super posh, they are very down to earth people…well, except for Laurence in the present day. What a beautiful family though! Emilia kind of reminds me of a more mellower Drew Barrymore!
Well, It must be interesting chit chat at Christmas. What did you do this year? More acting...bravo. And you Emilia? Erm..still got that sh. t role, and no I don't mean bog role.
Very sad that she had a baby with someone she dumped a year later. Even though she felt bad about her relatives destroying a marriage, she did exactly the same thing and left her child without a stable home life. Some people never learn.
Edward Fox, Emilia's father, was divorced once but has been married to Joanna for several years. James Fox his brother married Mary Elizabeth Piper in September 1973 and they were married until she recently passed away. James Fox has 5 children and only Lawrence is divorced.
