Personal Quote:
[1987 comment on Meryl Streep] Let's just say I found her a little distant. I hardly got to know her. We had dinner a couple of times, but she only spoke about work. I didn't find her easy to work with, but it's not her job to make it easy for me. See more »Trivia:
Has 3 children. Oliver Matthew Dance (born 1974), Rebecca (born 1980) and Rose (born 2012). See more »Trademark:
Often plays assertive bureaucrats and sinister villains See more »Star Sign:
