Hitting Asia soon is the spirited drama “Made In Dagenham” so there’s nothing better than showcasing one of the film’s stars, LORRAINE STANLEY. In this re-telling of the 1968 Ford sewing machinists strike that precipitated Equal Pay for women, it’s always going to be a crowd puller thanks to its empowering themes. Cheekily the movie is being coined as “We Want Sex” in parts of Europe but at its root is an inspirational story especially in our time when there seems to be a resurgence of racism, chauvinism and elitism on the web. Kudos to the gifted female cast for their thought provoking potrayals of these equal rights activists who refuse to sit back and do nothing when they saw injustice. LORRAINE herself was previously lauded thanks to her work on “London To Brighton” which was so gutsy and stirring that she was nominated for British Actress of the Year by the London Film Critics’ Circle along big names Helen Mirren, Dame Judi Dench and Kate Winslet. So outstanding as the prostitute with a heart of gold in “London To Brighton”, she boldly takes on some of the most darkest roles with ease. So I thank the lucky stars to be in touch with such a reputed actress and I can vouch she’s so lovable and soft-spoken..:)
I’ll always remember her first words to me: “Its such a hard game so to be appreciated is tops!!” demonstrating just how humbly endearing she is as a person. Being so grounded despite the bright lights of movie premieres and red carpet events, LORRAINE incorporates such warmheartedness on top of her cultured talents! From sporting a disfigured face on film to her intensity in various television roles (including being labeled brilliant on “Law and Order UK”), here’s a consummate actress who pushes the limits in order to give heartfelt performances, indeed she is a born entertainer.Thus, I’m always Dead Cert (she appears in that vampires/gangsters mashup) in praising British Sirens like LORRAINE STANLEY..:)
