Anna Quayle in AHDN and beyond

June 22nd, 2009

One of the best of the many memorable vignettes in “A Hard Day’s Night” is the exchange between John and “Millie,” played by the wonderful character actress Anna Quayle. In this video is the full scene, followed by Quayle a few years later in an episode of “The Avengers”, and then in a brief role from the 1981 production of “Brideshead Revisited.” Nickolas Grace is the outrageous Anthony Blanche, with a performance that’s over-the-top, yet more reserved than Tim Curry probably would have done it. I end the clip with Anna Quayle talking about her part in AHDN.

    Thanks, Lia. I happened to have the video source material handy. Margaret Nolan also appeared in “Brideshead Revisited” but I don’t have her episode on hand at the moment.

    Great video!! My site above is a fan site for Anna.

    Still think her greatest role was Chitty Bang Bang with the strange S&M relationship in a childrens movie….Loved her in Drop dead darling too!!

    Hi, Bill. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for your comment, and the link to my blog.

    Anna looked mature when she was young without appearing old, and now she looks younger than her years. A good way to be. And, of course, she has a fantastic figure.
