Happy Birthday Brenda Blethyn!

Image
Today is the 66th birthday of two-time Academy Award Award Nominee Brenda Blethyn , best known to us P&P fans as Mrs. Bennet , the Bennet girls ' mother in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film. After twenty years of hard work on stage and both television and films, there are not many other actresses who deserved the success, recognition and stardom which Brenda Blethyn has now achieved. Born in (February 20th) 1946 in Ramsgate in Kent, England, she started her career at British Rail in the 1960s. Saving money during her time there, she took a risk and enrolled herself at the at The Guildford School of Acting in Guildford, Surrey, England and then left her British Rail years behind. Her risk had paid off, by the mid-1970s she was working on stage, eventually joining the National Theatre Company in 1975. ( Read more of her Bio on IMDB! )
