Tandy began acting onstage in her native England in her teens and by the mid-1930s was enjoying considerable success in the classics, playing Ophelia to John Gielgud's Hamlet in 1934 and playing Viola in Tyrone Guthrie's famous 1937 staging of "Twelfth Night".
Tandy and Cronyn occasionally committed their dynamic stage work to the TV screen, and both would return to the silver screen as well; one of Tandy's most impressive characterizations at this mid-career stage was her cold and dominating mother in Alfred Hitchcock's masterful "The Birds" (1963).
Sympathetic and gentle, yet proud and resolute, Tandy became something of a fixture in recent Hollywood films aimed at a largely female audience: she was central to the success of both "Fried Green Tomatoes" (1991), adapted from Fannie Flagg's novel, and "Used People" (1992).

 Kennedy Center: Biographical information for Jessica Tandy
Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy both had distinguished themselves on stage and film individually and together before the night in 1951 when they opened on Broadway in The Fourposter and became a theatrical couple with whom to be reckoned.
Since then, the names of these two performers, who met in 1940 and married in 1942, have been as surely linked professionally as Lunt and Fontanne, and they were hailed as a premier theater couple.
Among the Broadway plays in which they subsequently starred are Madam Will You Walk and Triple Play, both of which Cronyn also directed, Bedtime Story, Hamlet, for which he received a Tony Award as supporting actor in 1964 for his portrayal of Polonius, Three Sisters and The Physicists.
