If she would have remained in London, she would have been Dame Jessica Tandy. But thankfully for the American Theater, she came to us, and we the fans of the theater was made better for it!!
It's weird to look at a young picture of someone's who you only knew of in their older years. We try to trap time in a bottle but it's just not possible. And as much as you may appreciate the here and now, tomorrow that here and now is gone, and so it is the next day. Then, you aren't the young looking kid anymore. You begin having aches and pains, and the story goes.
A great British actress who sadly had to wait until late in her life to get the roles her obvious talents deserved Fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop cafe and Driving Miss Daisy are two of my favourite films of all-time and Jessica is superb in both
...This retrospective slide show leaves a lump in my throat. Jessica Tandy was one of a kind. I simply do not have the words. There is Jessica Tandy, and then there is all the rest of the incredible, incomparable, totally fascinating actresses who have lit up the big screen.
Very nice. She was a lovely person, amazing performer and actress and the world is a better place because she was in it. She left her mark here. Ovarian cancer is awful...it took my sister and took Jessica Tandy. Kathy Bates survived her ordeal with the disease...I hope for a cure. Had Jessica Tandy not been affected, she'd have made dozens more wonderful movies because I know she's have lived another 20 years! What a woman!
To my knowledge, I ONLY saw Jessica Tandy in Driving Miss Daisy. If I saw her in other movies, I did not know who she was. YET, watching her in DMD, I could see her lovely soul through her eyes, smile and postural timing. Acting? Sure she was playing a role, but what she did was HER in the situations the story required. She was and will remain in my mind as an extraordinarily wonderful woman, from achingly lovely youth to aching beauty shining through the vagaries old age!
Jessica Tandy is an immaculate woman! I've only been able to watched some of her movies like "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Fried Green Tomatoes" which is one of my favorites...
I have and remain to be a fan of this beautiful lady. It just doesn't seem right for her to not be kicking about on the screen. I have found myself in tears watching some of her latest movies and TV specials with a heavy heart wishing she were still with us. I tell myself her daughter Tandy Cronyn is still with us and looks like her mother. But there is only one Jess. I hope when I pass Jessica I will get a chance to tell her how wonderful she made my life.
Thank you. I remember the first film I saw with Jessica Tandy was Disney's "The Light In the Forest" followed by "The Birds". Years later I was fortunate to see her on stage in a number of productions, most notably "The Gin Game" and "Foxfire" with Hume Cronyn.
I first saw Jessica in The Birds...her acting was so believable..she truly looked terrified. I loved her in Fried Green Tomatoes and Driving Miss Daisy...She was a gift.
