Suzman will figure prominently in my series NEXT year, a look back to Oscar, 1971. She snagged a spot in the Best Actress race in part due to a lack of good leading roles for women.

I thought she was a worthy "...Alexandra".

It's a baity movie too with a much bigger arc than "Nicolas...", I'll be tuning in to your forthcoming series with deep interest.
