    I just saw her last week in a new epis­ode of “Poirot”. A fine act­ress and a real pres­ence doing excel­lent work until the end.

    I remem­ber how appre­ci­ated her nat­ur­al charm and beauty was even in a small part in Preminger’s BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING. Very easy to fall in love with, Anna.

    Massey was also the read­er for a top-notch audiobook of du Maurier’s Rebecca. Listening to it right now, and she’s superb.

    Owner of an exquis­itely mel­low voice, a main­stay, not to say, quint­essence of BBC Radio 4 drama – thank you, Glenn, for not­ing Ms Massey’s career.
