When I was a teenager she appeared freuently in the living room, usually in an episode of Armchair Theatre.
My family was never an easy audience but mention of her name always got an "oh good" from my mum, so there you go!

I was so sorry to read of Billie Whitelaw's death. She was a quite wonderful actress, and what Beckett's biographer Anthony Cronin wrote of another supreme actor, Patrick Magee, could have been said of her as well: "there was a sense in which, as an actor, he had been waiting for Beckett as Beckett had been waiting for him". The dedication, intelligence and intensity which she brought to those performances of Beckett's work - some fortunately captured on film - are to me quite unforgettable. And that performance of Not I in particular I recall as the most astonishing dramatic performance I have ever seen on screen (sadly I was unable to see it live).
