Short news clip of Ted Hughes' poetry collection Birthday Letters winning the 1999 Whitbread award for poetry. The award is accepted by Frieda Hughes, the daughter of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. Frieda's physical resemblance to Sylvia is uncanny, and her voice has the same deep, rich quality as Sylvia's.

  • Her voice indeed resembles her mother's enormously. Thank you! Do you happen to have any other/more Fieda Hughes footage?

  • Her voice eerily echoes Sylvia's inflections and gravity.
