She was great as Lenin's wife in "Nicholas & Alexandra", hysterical in "Harold and Maude", and I loved her as Mary Stuart in "Elizabeth R", and as Beatrice for BBC in "Rebecca". I wish I could see her as Isadora Duncan in her BBC series about the ground breaking dancer because I love Vivian Pickles.

LOL. I thought you were asking if I liked a certain type of pickle. Silly me...

In the words of Vivian Pickles (in Harold and Maude) "I find the whole question distasteful!".

Is she still with us, or has she gone to God?

Brava, La Pickles. And thank you for the homage, Glebb -- the board's combo archivist/nostalgia keeper.

Vivian Pickles is a great Mary Stuart but I like Vanessa Redgrave too.

The best pickles are dill pickles.

favorite line from Elizabeth R.........when handed the ring signifying Mary's death.

She was SOOOO funny as Harold's unflappable mother. I love when she's filling out that dating questionnaire on Harold's behalf. He shoots himself and she icily deadpans: "Harold, pleeease!!"

According to Dead or Alive she's alive at 73.

Her Isadora was SENSATIONAL and way beyond Vanessa Redgrave's performance. I remember it being just one episode...

"I suppose you think thats very funny, Harold."

Priceless. H&M is my all-time favorite movie, and Vivian Pickles amazing performance is SUCH a huge part of that. The scene where she fills out the questionaire......amazing.

Not Vanessa's Isadora but Pickles' Isadora?
Please put it on hold for me until I get to the city in July!
I've heard that Pickle's is awesome as Isa!
My car tour drove me past Isadora's home in Moscow.
I had the pleasure of watching Lynn Seymour teach Sir Fred's 'Five Brahms Waltzes in the Mannor of Isadora Duncan' in the 80s. I also got to ask her about the whole Lynn/Margot debacle of Romeo and Juliet.
But back to Krupskaya - Lenin's wife (Pickles) in the film 'Nicholas and Alexandra'.
