Diana Quick Biography

 Eclectic British stage actress Diana Quick was trained at Oxford University and has included both the classics and musical theatre in her repertoire over the years, ranging from "Troilus and Cressida" to "The Threepenny Opera". Though not a potent name in America, she has occasionally graced films and TV. Specializing in aristocratic roles, she stood out among a highly formidable cast in the classic epic mini-series _"Brideshead Revisited" (1981)_ (qv) and received both Emmy and BAFTA nominations for her efforts. She had a long-standing relationship with actor 'Bill Nighy' (qv), and they have one daughter.
