Kate Nelligan
The distinguished career of stage and screen veteran Kate Nelligan was graced by creative highs and accolades. An actress whose range encompassed both roles of passion and harsh resolve, the Canadian native made her way to the illustrious stages of England before taking aim at the equally impressive stages on Broadway. From the stark drama of David Hare's "Plenty" to the silver screen whimsy of "Frankie and Johnny" (1991), Nelligan's career was a testament to the actress' ability to diversify her talents while successfully avoiding the punishment of being typecast.
