764 Lair Of The White Worm ( 1988 )

 Ken Russell's latest film was  a loose ( as you'd expect with Russell ), contemporary  adaptation  of  a  little known  Bram Stoker novel. That said , this  is  Russell  in  relatively  restrained  form with  fewer  jump cut montages  and  much less pretension than usual.  Ruseell  stated it was a  comedy  and with its   comic  cops , atrocious  attempts at Northern accents.  the  casting of two  extensively  derided  actresses and  a  thoroughly  ridiculous finale, it's  plain to  see  he  wasn't  taking  it  too  seriously. Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi give it some heft though.

She  has  made  occasional  appearances since  but   mainly  works  in  corporate  photography  these  days.
