Joan Hickson

Joan Hickson died in Colchester, England. Anderson though recent reports are that this relationship has also broken down. Queen Elizabeth II, said to be a fan of both Miss Marple, and of Hickson, bestowed the latter award. S. Hickson played the role in all 12 adaptations of the novels produced from 1984 to 1992, and received a BAFTA nomination and an OBE from the British Government. She is currently engaged to director Paul W. In making a new series, the makers determined to remain faithful to the plotlines and locales of Christie's stories, and most importantly to represent Miss Marple as written. They have since divorced.

Though admired, Rutherford's Marple bore little resemblance to the character as written, and the plots of the early Christie film versions varied sharply from the author's carefully constructed plotlines. She later married The Fifth Element director Luc Besson in 1997. The BBC began filming the works of Agatha Christie in the early 1980s, and were conscious of the criticism that had been levelled at the most famous portrayal of Miss Marple given by Margaret Rutherford. Milla married Shawn Andrews in 1992 during the filming of Dazed and Confused; the marriage was annulled soon after. In 1980 she appeared in yet another Agatha Christie production, as Mrs Rivington in Why Didn't They Ask Evans. Featuring many original songs, the album led to comparisons with Tori Amos and Kate Bush, though Jovovich has of late concentrated more on her acting than her musical career. Her stage career included roles in Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit and Alan Ayckbourn's Bedroom Farce, for which she won a Tony Award in 1977. In 1994, Jovovich, billed under her first name, Milla, released her critically acclaimed first musical album, The Divine Comedy.

She also appeared opposite Margaret Rutherford in the Marple film Murder, She Said (1961). Most of her early appearances were in supporting or cameo roles, but by the late 1990s she was receiving top billing and entered the world of action heroes with her performances in two films based upon the video game series, Resident Evil. In the 1940s she appeared on-stage in an Agatha Christie play, Appointment with Death, which was seen by Christie who wrote to her "I hope one day you might play my dear Miss Marple". She became a film actress in the late 1980s as a teenager and gained popularity through her appearance in Return to the Blue Lagoon which led to inevitable comparisons between her and another child model-turned-actress, Brooke Shields (who had starred in the original The Blue Lagoon years earlier). She made her first film appearance in 1934, and the numerous supporting roles of her career included several Carry On films. She speaks Serbian, Russian, French and English fluently. Born in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, England, she made her stage debut in 1927, and for several years worked throughout the United Kingdom and achieved success playing comedic, often eccentric characters in London's West End. She has done extensive modeling since she was eleven-years-old.
