Maureen Lipman
Charming interview with the 21-year-old Lipman, who had just completed her first film role, as she ponders what to do next.
Overview
Chosen by Braden as a potential future star, Lipman had just debuted in Up The Junction (1968), moved to London and began to plot her career. Talking of a lesson learned with a recent interview, she mentions abandoning a pseudonym (Beverly Westwood, the relevance of which is worth watching), contemplating a move into television and feeling most at home in comedy.
