Miranda Richardson's Quotes
- I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don't want things just to be pat and formulaic. If there's some sort of internal combustion in the character or a desire to change the way things are going, that makes for conflict, which is the essence of drama.
- Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn't present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.
- I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
- Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.
- You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.
Interesting Facts about Miranda Richardson
- Turned down the role subsequently taken by Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction (1987).
- Played roles in four unrelated movies in which her character was in charge of having heads cut off: Alice in Wonderland (1999), as the Queen of Hearts; Sleepy Hollow (1999), as Lady Van Tassel; Blackadder II (1986), as Queen Elizabeth; and Chicken Run (2000), as Mrs. Tweedy.
- Attended Southport High School for Girls (Southport, England)
- Father: William Alan Richardson (Marketing Executive). Mother: Marian Georgina Richardson. Sister: Lesley Richardson (Chiropodist, born in 1949).
- Gave up smoking after being hypnotised.
- Grew up in Southport, Merseyside.
- Wanted to become a vet.
- One critic wrote that "Miranda Richardson has a face like an English sky".
- In one of the sketches on Saturday Night Live (1975) (20 March 1993), The Rain People, her character tells Phil Hartman's character that she draws inspiration for a particularly emotional scene from a childhood experience. She awoke after a bad crash, saw her father's face, and told him that she was all right. Then, she saw that it was just her father's severed head in her lap. This makes both actors cry, and produces a great scene for which Phil Hartman's character wins the Oscar. He takes credit for the scene and claims the story as his own (and messes up the details). Miranda's character is so angry she screams, "I want his severed head in my lap!" several times.
- Cast, ironically, as Rita Skeeter, one of Hermione Granger's least favorite people, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), after she did an impersonation of Hermione in "Harry Potter and the Secret Chamberpot of Azibaijan", a Comic Relief sketch, in 2003.
- She trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in the late seventies with Daniel Day-Lewis, Amanda Redman, Jenny Seagrove and Greta Scacchi.
- When Richardson was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in Tom & Viv (1994) she was seen as the least likely nominee to actually win. She was so unlikely and the film was so seldom heard of that a TNT public telephone poll cited her film as "Tom and Vic".
- Nominated for the 1987 Laurence Olivier Award for "Actress of the Year" for her work in "A Lie of the Mind".
- Graduated from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
- Had a childhood obsession with John Wayne.
- She won successive Spoken Word Awards in 2002 and 2003 for her reading of Francesca Simon's "Horrid Henry" in the audio books of the same name.
- Turned down a major role in the second series of Desperate Housewives (2004) because it "snowballed into something that would be so disruptive" for her.
- Not related to actresses Joely Richardson and Natasha Richardson even though they were all born in England.
- Involved, along with Sherilyn Fenn, Kate Winslet, Rufus Sewell and Paul McGann in the 1998 film project "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline". The film was to be executive produced by Emma Thompson, and written and directed by Fay Efrosini Lellios. The shooting was set to start in June 1998 in New Hampshire. The film was canceled due to financial withdrawal. [1998]
