Born #OTD 1930: Barbara Jefford, OBE


Continuing with the theme of renowned Shakespearean actresses from England, and undoubtedly an influence upon Helen Mirren, behold Barbara Jefford (1930 - 2020). She is shown here in one of her most famous roles as Molly Bloom in ‘Ulysses’ (1967), a British Lion Films production.

Photo: The character of Molly Bloom is lying on a bed in a languid pose. Her tresses, dark as night, are scattered on the pillow’s soft embrace. Case in a gown of gossamer adorned with lace, she lies in contemplation deep. A gentle smile plays upon her lips, a secret mirth within her eyes.
