The Dames are that for me: fantastic role models, embodying integrity, stamina and elegance, but not just for other actresses \u2013 for all women. They share an air of mystery. In an age when everybody\u2019s giving everything of themselves constantly, and in a business of short attention spans and craving for newness, these women hold something back. There is enigma there, a necessary privacy. We can\u2019t say we know them completely, which only adds to their allure. I hesitate to call them beautiful \u2013 it\u2019s too obvious an idea. They are beautiful, but not just in looks: in soul and character; in their integrity, in the values they live by. They are quintessentially themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As an actress, you look to older actresses all the time as beacons of what the future might&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[5343,96,2332,2839,7448,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-551241","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-culture","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-film","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-theatre","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
