(****Edit; July 2024: Sorry folks for the dreadful formatting of the clips. I compiled this edit three long years ago and I had no idea how to wrestle the programs I was using. I would gladly have replaced this with a sort of "remastered" edit, if youtube allowed for video updates, but it tragically doesn't.
I have still searched for the completed interview, because the sudden cut off at the end agonizes me, too! No avail, as of yet, but I keep my spirits hopeful. My love.****)
Dame Judith Anderson Interviewed by Charles Higham on the subject of her roles on film, accompanied by footage of each film in discussion.
Often it was the case Anderson had to present herself differently when speaking under certain circumstances. In this interview she was very particularly cautious and inconsistent on discussions of homosexuality and queerness; likely influenced by the nature of the time she lived in, where the Lavender Scare witch hunts had ruined lives in America, even within Hollywood.
The original interview has some strange jumps and cuts in the audio, which cannot be helped. As well, most snippets in the large discussion of Laura (1947) had to be trimmed out due to youtube's policy. I would share the uncut interview with anyone interested, you can find an email to reach me on my channel page.
