I agree about AB having a compelling presence. That deep voice had a lot to do with her appeal. One overlooked performance of hers is as Winston Churchill's Mother Jennie Jerome in the film Young Winston.
I don’t know. Ann Bancroft was more sophisticated and exotic looking.
Even in old age, she was compelling - I remember seeing her in ‘Homecoming’ in the ‘90s, and she seemed even more beautiful as an old lady.
