| | Film | Rachel Kempson |
 | | Kempson's first stage appearance was as Hera, in Much Ado About Nothing, in the 1933 Stratford-upon-Avon season, followed by Ophelia and a Juliet which those who knew her still describe as "incandescent" - a quality in a sense she never lost. |
 | | A favourite role of Kempson's was apparently that of Dionyza, in Pericles, in the 1958 Stratford season, when she also played Lady Capulet and an "enchanting" Ursula in Much Ado. |
 | | Until she became too frail and moved to live with Vanessa, she was a keen and creative gardener, turning her home in Hampshire into a haven where family and friends could always go for support in troubled times. |
