Sylvia Sims played the Queen Mother (Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon) in Stephen Frears’ The Queen.
Sims long and successful career began in the 1950s and though she has played politicians like Margaret Thatcher, this was her first role as a monarch on film.
I think she did a great job with the role. She conveyed a sense of fun while still managing to be quite conservative.
