1980'sDuring another decade of demanding theatre work, I managed to make five films, all shot in United Kingdom. The parts were varied. Working with John Hurt, Michael Mann, Fred Schepisi and Meryl Streep was enlightening and encouraged the hope that I might spend more time discovering more about acting for the screen. — Ian McKellen, August 2000 |
