Director: Nicholas Hytner
Starring: Maggie Smith, Alex Jennings, Jim Broadbent
Maggie Smith, who died last year after an acting career of over seven decades, plays the aging and homeless Miss Shepherd. Shepherd parked in the driveway of London playwright Alan Bennet (played by Alex Jennings) where she remained for 15 years. Bennett eventually featured her in a memoir and stage play (which starred Smith) describing their complex relationship.
“A wonderfully bittersweet comic diary of the years in which a lethally dotty and very smelly old bat parked her unroadworthy vehicle in Bennett’s Camden garden, thereby providing him with roughly equal amounts of good journalistic copy and guilty landlord irritation.” Spectator
