The Crown (2016)
Jane Lapotaire Emmy Nomination for Series 3
Jane Lapotaire after 11 years recovering from a major brain injury made it back on stage at the RSC in Henry V. Then-
In The Crown (series 3)She played Princess Alice of Greece and Denmark- the Duke of Edinburgh's mother.
And received an Emmy Nomination.
Like Princess Alice Jane Lapotaire is deaf.
Unlike Princess Alice who was deaf at birth, she can't lip read 3 languages. Princess Alice could lip read Greek, German and English.
But Jane Lapotaire had to speak Greek during 3 days of filming. She spent 3 months with a Greek teacher- Ioanna Vasilaki- who was excellent and as stringent about pronunciation as Lapotaire desired her to be.
The director Benjamin Caron was top notch and a delight with it.
One of Jane Lapotaire's career highlights.
Special thanks to Amy Roberts costume designer who made the nun's habits.
Smyrni mou agapimeni (2021)
Please include Jane Lapotaire in cast list
I am in this! So I can't review
it. I loved the script- co written with Martin Sherman.
This film adapted from the hugely successful stage play by Mimi Denissou.
Couldn't fly out to Athens for the premiere Dec23 because of Covid restrictions.
I loved the crew.- multi lingual most of them. Thanks be.
Eureka (1983)
This film was abandoned by 1 Hollywood Prod Co and languished unloved and unchampioned
Can't write a review as I was in it.
But it's much underrated. Danny Boyle is right
Piaf (1984)
CBS sat on the recording of this for years. It eventually went out with the addition of Patti Lupine softening the blow of the bad language.
Jane Lapotaire won The Tony Award for this theatre performance
