Smiled at the, ' eggs is eggs' conversation. Jean Marsh was a great ambassador and a genuine talent.

[@jarodcarnarvon5198]

Such a beautiful gorgeous talented woman!!

[@garymunroe9602]

Always loved her as Queem Bavmorda and Princess Momby. I hadad no idea she was so stunning for many years.Classy lady & a great actress

[@scrap8930]

Momby scared the h#// out of me as a kid. ..her and those wheelers were the stuff of nightmares 😆

[@GinaSigillito]

Still one of the best shows ever made. I love the story behind the series.

[@fernandomilicich8160]

Beautiful woman and beautiful accent

[@hotbambi2010]

I used to be terrified of her but watching this she is so sweet and her voice is so gentle

[@jw870206]

She is a lady. When a lady such as Jean Marsh can terrify you as Queen Bavmorda or Mombi, that is the mark of a terrific actor, as well.

[@pix046]

She's actually strikingly good looking.

[@jasonday9286]

She is…maybe it’s her height, her hair, or how she carries herself, but I’ve always thought she resembles Garbo. Not a spitting image, but there’s a similarity.

Look at her!! She is just lovely and seems like such a joy to talk to! Love her two bags thrown over each other haha!!!

[@felixacosta6482]

Miss Marsh..I loved you as Alicia..on the twilight zone..with jack warden..

[@Mrs_Christa]

She looks absolutely lovely!! I remember seeing her as Princess Mombi and she was terrifying but she is just a sweetheart!!

[@Roadsurfer2k11]

Twilight Zone "the lonely" brought me here 😊😊 She's born one day before I and she's one year younger in this interview than I am now

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

So cool to see that Alicia actually survived and was mended up & brought back to earth from that asteroid, somehow and looks great here! According to Wikipedia, as I write this comment, she is still living at 89 🙂

[@efremvalenz6795]

Great the queen Bavmorda!!! And beautiful

[@jacksugden8190]

She will always be 🌹 although has seen Jean in other parts, even in the sci-fi series U.F.O.

[@philipthomas3503]

Classy, beautiful woman

[@patriciahirte6143]

She is great!!!

[@IndigENous-uk3si]

She’s got sophistication & intelligence & looks so beautifully natural

[@vietbond]

What a woman.

[@vardellsfolly5200]

Σhe was truly terrifying as.. Queen Bavmorda! Sweet childhood memories!

[@mannionh1]

Wow Jean Marsh looked AMAZING for her age - who needs Botox?

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Beautiful classy Jean Marsh.

[@rockyracoon3233]

Marsh is a acting Goddess!

[@oliviabriggs8871]

Just the other day I was looking for this , thank you!

[@boum62]

Gorgeous jean

[@jonathankieranwriter]

Love the great Jean!

[@vgovger4373]

Alicia from twilight zone.

[@monceau27]

Exactly !

[@vgovger4373]

@Ämi Yeshurun love that episode, sad.

[@deadheaders86]

I cried at that episode of Twilight Zone. This is the only woman that ever did it for me. I may habe to write her a fan letter.

[@amandaosowski4739]

lol me too

[@miamiboi2598]

That's Queen Bavmorda from the 80's movie "Willow".

[@chrisdardar9445]

You nailed it. She was also the bad queen in the creepy and 1985 movie "Return to Oz". Also was a double agent spy in 1976 "The Eagle Has Landed"

[@miamiboi2598]

@@chrisdardar9445That's right. I actually saw Return to OZ in theaters. I was like 5 lol... but I remember that movie well.

[@aroseinwinter05]

Princess Mombie scared the ring pops out of every 80s kid, lol Jean is *brilliant* ❤️‍🔥

[@coppersky]

"You're allllll PIGS!"

[@danielhetue6968]

I’m pretty sure she’ll never forget the time she appeared in the Twilight Zone episode, The Lonely, with Jack Warden and John Dehner as a beautiful female robot who was unfortunately shot in the face by Captain Allenby. Happy upcoming 90th birthday to the retired Jean Marsh!!

[@jeffnettleton3858]

She did the show once, wearing seamed stockings, which got Johnny's attention. He then asked what is was about them that grabbed men's attention and she said, "I think they are like arrows...." and Johnny just got a look on his face. Sexy woman, TREMENDOUS actress. Julian Fellowes owes a ton to she and Eileen Atkins.

[@teecee1567]

The essence of femininity. Her and Dame Diana Rigg.

[@rockyracoon3233]

Two fine compliments to British Womanhood!🇬🇧

[@amandaosowski4739]

I’ve only seen her in that twilight zone episode where she plays a robot girl I thought she was so stunning

[@brianhammer5107]

sound level is waaaay too low

[@Acein3055]

l liked her in one of the episodes of the Twilight Zone. She played an android.

[@fkd1963]

Witty and charming

[@SrbijaCG]

This woman was beautiful; Alicia in Twilight Zone.

[@joshuapinner9867]

PRINCESS Mumbi from Return To Oz ❤❤❤

[@timeladyswag]

cannot believe this is the same woman from Return to Oz

[@MattST69]

Carson talked for most of this interview instead of letting her speak

[@thomasschwalger7580]

A Great Nice Woman.

[@elenamendez7368]

She's also the mad scientist Dr. Culex from the Nikoledeon series: The Tomorrow People

[@KentPetersonmoney]

I remember her in that show. She was the main villain for season 2. Used to love tomorrow people.

[@michellelouiseparker7722]

Love her great actress 😊 yes ive heard if you win money on lotto in us you pay alot of taxes on your winnings yes here in uk you keep all winnings i tnink if. You wi a large amount you keep it. But you can pay some taxs on the intrerest amount it accumulates nor sure if thats for all large lotto wins ithink it is. Or just the euro lotto. We also do here you do get to keep more 😊 wonder if the federal government seized his. Money or freeze it till he pays. I can see his point not sure if they are able to so that in these cicumstances brave man to go through that and stand by his principals but also respect you have a different system and different govement laws so its a difficult situation but guessi ts just the law so guess he wont have a choice in the end or he could fight it. Ut not sure what outcome would be ? Love her work love her as rose and she is a great writer aswell ❤😊

[@Theshark15z]

Princess Mombi!

[@user-qe5dw1cd3e]

Im here because of willow movie

[@milesmontemore5060]

Thanks. Did you know she actually started out as a dancer? Cheers.

[@Ben-v1s]

Had a crush on her in upstairs downstairs

[@michaelmelling9333]

Hmmm a little disappointing. I was hoping there'd be some conversation about her role in my favorite Twilight Zone episode, The Lonely, but it didn't happen.🙁 April 18, 2023

[@leftinlister829]

Only just noticed she and Lorraine Chase could be related.

[@Kenistyless]

North London Gal...

[@mirfamilyfun2403]

Presenter got a stiffie under the desk

[@andrewsadler4997]

It might be much better if the interviewer just asked the questions and then shut up himself.

[@mprkg]

The finale of Upstairs Downstairs was so sad. Yes, Georgina finally got married, but James killed himself, they have to leave their home, and the worst- Rose was left penniless because she foolishly gave all her money to James to invest in the Stock Market. It made no sense really that Rose would not retire when she got Gregory's money in season 4. Why would she continue to be a maid 1918-1930, and then even later in the horrible reboot? She had the money to leave service in 1918-1919.

[@probyful]

The reboot is not horrible.

[@hotbambi2010]

I used to be totally terrified of her but watching this she is so sweet and her voice is so gentle
