 Lumley, Joanna
Joanna Lumley's lengthy career in television has been marked chiefly by two components--her image as glamorous and refined, and the characters she has played in three popular series, which span three decades.
For the remainder of the 1980s, Joanna Lumley was involved in less memorable productions, although she remained in the public eye as the face for several advertisements, as a regular guest on TV chat shows, and with certain notable film appearances, particularly as headgirl-turned-prostitute in Shirley Valentine (1989).
Lumley gives an immensely entertaining performance, but also, because of her on and off-screen persona, she creates in Patsy a hilarious and hideous satire around the expectations of glamour and refinement assigned to her.
