Jane Lapotaire, born January 26, 1944 in Suffolk, England, is an actress who I first saw in the miniseries Marie Curie in 1977. More recently, she appeared in Downton Abbey as Princess Irina, appearing with Dame Maggie Smith. I found out she was in another favorite movie, One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing in 1975 with Helen Hayes. In 2006, she starred with Sir Patrick Stewart in the mini-series thriller Eleventh Hour. In 2020, she appeared in the remake of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca.
It's interesting to note that she was born on the anniversary of Marie Curie's discovery of radium in 1898.
