This celebrated Irish stage actress has made appearances in only a few film and TV roles, but she has been particularly memorable. Joyce Redman earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in "Tom Jones" (1963), in which she played the title character's possible mother and participated in one of the most famous food scenes in screen history, orgiastically eating with Albert Finney before bedding him. She garnered a second Best Supporting Actress nomination for recreating her stage role as Emilia, the devoted servant to Maggie Smith's Desdemona in Laurence Olivier's production of "Othello" (1965). She also appeared on screen as Grace Hardcastle, the woman who becomes pregnant after her niece switches her birth control pills with aspirin in "Prudence and the Pill" (1968).
