Georgie Glen

Actor · Born April 20, 1956 (70) · Helensburgh, Dumbartonshire, Scotland, UK

Georgie was born in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, on April 20th 1956 and as a child had little interest in appearing in school plays. In fact she studied graphic design at Glasgow School of Art and moved to London in her mid-twenties to design book covers for the Thames and Hudson publishing house. Looking for other interests she joined Floodlight Council, an organization set up to bring out adult's artistic skills and then became part of the Questors Theatre Company in Ealing, West London. Here she met the late Alan Rickman - who, like Georgie, had a background in design before treading the boards - and he encouraged her to follow her acting ambitions. As a result she enrolled at the Bristol Old Vic drama school alongside Mark Strong and Jeremy Northam and on graduating had her first job at the Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich. Even then she felt, somewhat modestly, that she did not have the looks for a leading lady but ever since her television debut in 1988 she has been a reliable supporting player in virtually every type of show from sketch comedy to period drama, notably as doughty Sergeant Nokes in Heartbeat (1992), and as the liberal, kindly teacher Audrey in Waterloo Road (2006) which was filmed in her native Scotland. Indeed she may be said to be one of the first ladies of character acting and though her film roles have again always been in support of bigger names she has proved herself to be a scene-stealer par excellence, as one of the more enthusiastic Calendar Girls (2003), and as a lady experiencing the joys of pelvic massage in the Victorian-set comedy Hysteria (2011).

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
