Phoebe Nicholls: Mum’s the word
‘Fairytale: A True Story’ is greatly enhanced by a moving performance from English stage and screen actor Phoebe Nicholls.
Full fringe fierceness in every frame- Nicholls in ‘FairyTale’
Nicholls first made a name for herself in the 1980s, playing opposite John Hurt in ‘The Elephant Man’. She also starred as Cordelia Flyte in the BBC adaptation of ‘Brideshead Revisited’, directed by ‘Fairytale’s own Charles Sturridge.

Since her poignant performance in ‘Fairytale’, opposite Paul McGann, she’s managed to tick off some of the majore squares in ‘British screen actor bingo’.
‘Midsummer Murders’
‘Midsummer Murders’, ‘Inspector Lewis’ and ‘Endeavour’. If nothing else, a study of horrific crime rates in fictionalised England.

Between 2012 and 2014, she played Susan MacClare, Marchioness of Flintshire on ‘Downton Abbey’ crossing career paths with ‘Fairytale’ co-star Anna Chancellor.
‘Finding Your Feet’- essentially a retirement plan for British acting royalty
Recently Nicholls had to ultimate assurance that she’s made it, appearing in ‘Finding Your Feet’. Immelda Staunton, Joanna Lumley, Timothy Spall: basically, if you’re an icon of British cinema and you didn’t get a call back for ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ (or in Celia Immrey’s case, even if you did), you’re in this movie.
