The Entertainer star Shirley Anne Field obituary and funeral

Hi there! I'm glad you decided to check out my channel, where I discuss films, actors, and the whole cinematic universe. I regret to inform you that today I have some unfortunate news. Among the most famous and multi-talented members of the British New Wave, Shirley Anne Field was 87 years old when she died. Shirley Anne Field collaborated with legendary filmmakers and actors on cult classics like The Entertainer, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and Alfie. Her versatility, attractiveness, and charisma helped her land parts in both comedic and dramatic productions. My goal in making this movie is to honor Shirley Anne Field's life and work by showing you some of her most memorable roles.

Shirley Anne Field had a troubled upbringing after being born in Bolton, England, in 1936. During WWII, she was taken from her home and placed in an orphanage. A career in acting and modeling led her to London, where she eventually settled. In 1955, she had a small role in Simon and Laura, which was her first film. After that, she had guest appearances on shows including Carry On Nurse, The Smallest Show on Earth, and The Adventures of Quentin Durward, two British comedy.

Actress Shirley Anne Field became famous in the '50s and '60s as a prominent figure in the British New Wave, an artistic movement that centered on socially conscious and realistic portrayals of working-class life. The Entertainer, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Alfie, and countless others were among the most notable and critically acclaimed films of the time.

Laurence Olivier played a declining music hall performer in Tony Richardson's 1960 film The Entertainer. In the film, Jean—played by Shirley Anne Field—falls for a young soldier—Albert Finney—onscreen. Nominated for an Oscar, Olivier gave a somber and sad portrayal of post-war Britain in the film.

Both Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, which Karel Reisz directed and which was based on a novel by Alan Sillitoe, were released in 1960. A hard-living factory worker with an affair with a married woman (Rachel Roberts) was portrayed by Albert Finney in the film. His partner Doreen, played by Shirley Anne Field, stands for a more traditional and steady way of life. Critically and financially, the picture was a smashing success for its innovative and divisive portrayal of working-class teenagers.

Directed by Lewis Gilbert and starring Michael Caine as a charming and carefree womanizer who recounts his adventures to the audience, Alfie was released in 1966. One of his mistresses, Carla, played by Shirley Anne Field, is pregnant with his child. Aside from its serious and moral message, the picture was a slick and clever comedy. Five Oscars were up for grabs, with Best Picture and Best Actor among them.

In her ongoing career in cinema and television, Shirley Anne Field showcased her aptitude and adaptability across numerous genres and characters. She had appearances in science fiction features like These Are the Damned and The Earth Dies Screaming, horror features like The Nightcomers and The Damned, and drama features like My Beautiful Laundrette and Hear My Song. Steve McQueen, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Ned Beatty were among the A-listers she collaborated with.

Shirley Anne Field passed away peacefully on November 28, 2023, with the love and support of her loved ones at her side. Paul, her son, and Nicolas, her grandson, are her surviving relatives. Her colleagues, admirers, and the film industry as a whole will miss her terribly. Her impact on British cinema and culture is immense, and she leaves behind a remarkable legacy.

One of my favorite comments from Shirley Anne Field that I think captures her spirit and message is going to close this video. Being genuine and truthful with yourself and others is, in her opinion, the most important thing. And to savor each and every one of those moments, since life is full of surprises.¹
