The Elephant to Hollywood (47 page)

Hannah and Her Sisters
– I was working with Woody Allen, one of my favourite directors, in New York, one of my favourite places.  Oh – and I got an Oscar.

The Cider House Rules
– perhaps this character was even less like me – but I got my second Academy Award.

Harry Brown
– a beautifully made film by the young first time director Daniel Barber.  It was shot on my home patch and shocked me when I discovered just how bleak it had become.
