Susannah York 1939-2011




Some Susannah York quotes:
[on being labeled a 'film star'] "I hated that appellation, I was an actor. I did not want to have an image, be seen as the blue-eyed, golden-haired ingénue. Being a 'star' seemed to lock you into an image and I was always frightened of that because I knew I would disappoint people. I knew I wouldn't be like that and I didn't want them to get the wrong end of the stick so early on."

"I`m an infinitely better actress now than I was 30 years ago because I`ve had experiences and I`ve learned. I do look back on some roles and think I was dreadful, but I`m not going to tell you which performances I`m talking about"
