Reference
Joan Plowright was born on October 28, 1929 in the north of England. After graduating from drama school, Plowright made a name for himself at the Theater Royal in London.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, Plowright played dozens of stage roles in many plays, from Chekhov’s The Seagull to Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.
The actress is also known for her roles in the films “101 Dalmatians” and “Tea with Mussolini” and other feature films.
Meeting with Laurence Olivier
In Osborne’s The Comedian, she played a young teacher, Jean Rice, who visits her father, the entertainer Archie Rice, in the original London production. This role was played by the still married stage star Laurence Olivier, who fell in love with Plowright.
Their relationship was accompanied by the tabloid press. The couple married in 1961 and moved to New York. They were together until Olivier’s death in 1989, and their three children became actors.
In a statement Friday, her family said Plowright died the day before at Danville Hall, a home for actors in southern England, surrounded by her loved ones.
She had a long and brilliant career in theatre, film and television spanning seven decades until blindness forced her to retire. We are very proud of all that Joan has done and who she was – a loving and deeply inclusive person
