Celia's voice lacked power in the lower register and this was one reason, along with her slight figure, that made her unsuited to heroic roles.
Celia was once heard to say "I know this play is a mistake." She was confident, the play was receiving standing ovations, but perhaps she felt that she hadn't the strength for it.
Celia was on a Greek cruise, and her daughter Lucy on Honeymoon when Peter, on a shoot in Scotland, suddenly collapsed and died, aged 64.

Trevor Howard is perfectly cast as Alec, the doctor, but the film belongs above all to Celia Johnson, as the heroine Laura.
It's easy to mock her clipped ultra-English accent, but she gives one of the greatest screen performances imaginable, brilliantly evoking how an ordinary life can be turned upside down by unexpected passion.

A distinguished stage actress, Celia Johnson graced films only occasionally, and the results made one wish she had acted in the cinema far more often.
She made her film debut in Noel Coward's memorable wartime drama, "In Which We Serve" (1942) and did well in one of the leading roles in David Lean's "This Happy Breed" (1944).
Johnson is most cherished, though, for her uniquely beautiful performance opposite an equally fine Trevor Howard in Lean's delicate, highly romantic classic, "Brief Encounter" (1945), the poignant story of an accidental love affair between two people both comfortably married to others.

And so it is that ordinary Londoners Alec (Trevor Howard), a married doctor, and contented housewife Laura (Celia Johnson) meet by chance one day in a train station, when he volunteers to remove a fleck of ash from her eye (a romantic gesture that, perhaps, inspired Robert Towne's "flaw in the iris" scene in Chinatown).
The depth of their feelings is never in question, as Trevor Howard and the incandescent Celia Johnson portray these feelings honestly and without pretense, clutter, or the manneredness of modern depicitions of love.
Trevor and Celia are married, but having an affair with each other, and they have the normal feelings of guilt and shame.

 Celia Johnson Biography
Celia Johnson has become so inextricably linked to the part of Laura in Brief Encounter (1945) that it is sometimes surprising to see her in other roles.
Much of her career was in theatre, and since her acting is in any case quietly self-effacing she seems to invite her own invisibility.
In 1980 she partnered Trevor Howard again, with passion spent but skill undiminished, in the BBC television adaptation of Paul Scott's Staying On.

There is a particularly impressive scene in which the lovers are interrupted and Celia Johnson's character must take a train trip with a very chatty, annoying woman friend.
The best thing about it (and this is saying a lot) is the two lead performances, Trevor Howard and (particularly) Celia Johnson in her crowning role, the only role she is remembered for.
She's not the most beautiful lady who ever graced the silver screen is she Celia Johnson but the utter charm of her performance (not that she's alone) steals any steely heart.

 Celia Johnson - Films as actress:
Rachmaninov thunders on the soundtrack; the lights of the rushing train slap across the woman's face as she stands horrified by the nearness of death.
No matter what other roles she played, the near-adulterous, near-suicidal, suburban wife of David Lean's film was the part she was remembered for.
Not that Johnson made many films—less than a dozen features in all, and few of them particularly distinguished.

The Technicolor is luscious in that 50's way that makes you want to crawl up into the screen and live for a while.
Very touching, nicely judged performance from Diana Dors, and fine work from favorites like Celia Johnson, Brenda de Banzie and Lou Jacobi.
My only caveat is that this disc is apparently being marketed as a children's movie (I found it in the kid's section of three different stores in NYC), and, despite my childhood affection for it, KID's not really aimed at children.
