Rachel Ward

This is largely due to respect for the novel of the same name and its heroes. Some skeptics will connect the success of the film with the fact that no one would dare to criticize a masterpiece of world literature.
The unspoken status of an actress of one role gives Rachel Ward reason to despair in her declining years. She never rose above the main character of “Singing in the Blackthorn”. She did not even manage to get close to that level of recognition and popularity in her career. But you have to make an adjustment to what role it was. With a fairly modest acting preparation, or rather its complete absence, the British girl then managed to leave a significant mark in the classics of cinema.
