Later in that 1959, Cecil Beaton the famed photographer and costume designer who had photographed and dressed the likes of Audrey Hepburn came to know Christine through his play "Landscape with figure" she played one where of the daughters of the painter Gainsborough. For the purpose of the role she was also slapped on the face by the actress playing her mother, as a cure for hysteria. However the lead actor Sir Donald Wolfit had grabbed her by the arm so tightly that she was actually bruised, which enraged Cecil Beaton very much.<br />
<br />
The Daily Express mentioned that Cecil, quite well known for put down remarks towards the faces of some of the most well known actresses, complimented Christine saying that her face was “remarkable, the sort that travels well and gets the gallery” however he complained that as a photographer he could never do her justice.<br />

At some point in her career, she became a client of St James Management run by Irene Z. Dawkins, then to be found in St James Place in Mayfair. 1961 was a year of her marriage to a London businessman, and somewhere since then, as the Daily Express reported, from an interview with her, she had a child and her husband suffered a serious car accident which forced her into what was considered an early retirement to look after both and then she returned to the stage in late 1963 for The Gentle Avalanche. The following year, she was in one play “Woman in a dressing gown” and her last known stage appearance was in 1965, a play called The Circle, and then nothing more. <br />
<br />
It was the following year in 1965 that she joined the Thunderbirds TV series voice cast until the following year. She had become accepted as a voice actress because of her work in the much loved TV children's sci-fi series , providing the voice for Tin-Tin Kyrano amongst others. Some may take notice of Tin-Tin Kyrano's face and see the resemblance between that and the face of Christine Finn, which is not totally surprising since the face of the character Lady Penelope in that series was based on the Sylvia Anderson who provided that character’s voice. From 1967 onwards restricted herself to occasional TV programs and radio plays often with the voice actor Peter Tuddenham known for his voice work in sci-fi TV series' Blake's Seven as Orac and Zen. <br />

Her known film career amounted to nothing more than a few bit parts in her earlier years, in such movies as Value for Money, The Large Rope and The Romantic Age, the last two at present can only be bought on videotape and neither are known to be destined for DVD release any time soon. Although she performed the live TV series "Quatermass And The Pit" and became a well known face, she didn't receive the interests of the Hammer Film Bosses when they came to make the cinema version of “Quatermass And The Pit" a decade later, they chose Barbara Shelley who was much taller and more in line with the Hammer films image. Nigel Kneale the writer of the Quatermass series felt that her performance as Barbara Judd was better than Barbara Shelley's, which can be understood with her background as a Shakespearian actress. Some viewers have also acknowledged that in the role, she was very cute too.<b> </b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b> </b><br />

<u><b>Scraping The Barrel For What Little Is In Print</b></u></div>
<br />
At present, I have found no record of her work 1974 onwards , in fact very little is known about her life at all that I have found apart from one interview in Plays and Players and a couple of short biographies in play pamphlets. If one is looking for her name in the appendix of biographies, one will find many people wanting to talk about their encounters with Albert Finney but alas, hardly a single word about Miss Finn. surprise that I have found as much as I have written about her on the internet especially with the likes of Sylvia Anderson mentioning almost nothing about her in her book "Yes M' Lady" other than she was amongst the cast and described her as lovely. Shane Rimmer in his autobiography “From Thunderbirds to Pterodactyls: My Autobiography” mentioned her name only once as he listed the cast members of the Thunderbirds voice acting team. There was a brief mention of her name in a recent Prunella Scales biography just because of her work in Marriage Lines. Nicholas Parsons talks about his work on “Night Train To Surbiton”, a TV series in which Miss Finn had a main role, but Nicholas dissatisfied with the series made no reference to her in his autobiography "The Straight Man: My Life in Comedy", in fact he never got around to a single mention of her, just as David Hemming with his own autobiography "Blow Up... and Other Exaggerations: The Autobiography of David Hemmings " which briefly mentions his work in the play "Woman in a dressing gown” but not a single word about her. Sylvia Anderson made no mention of her in the recent book "My Fab Years!", but in another book there is a group photograph of the people involved in the production of Thunderbirds and Miss Finn can be noticed amongst the people sitting down. And I'm very thankful that Nigel Kneale briefly mentioned about how she was better in her Barbara Judd role than the actress who played the role in the movie just to contribute to the illusion something could indeed be said about her and that Cecil Beaton was able to say a good word about her too and document the matter about Sir Donald Wolfit’s brutality towards Christine.<br />
<br />
I’m also thankful for the lists of the radio plays in which Christine Finn performed found <a href="http://www.suttonelms.org.uk/RADIO1.HTML">Diversity Website</a>, however most of these radio plays are lost so I say a big thanks to the people providing the information there.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

<u><b>Notification Of Death</b></u></div>
<br />
Christine Finn is said to have passed away on December 5th, 2007. Little could be said about it because no one on the internet was offering newspaper obituaries to back this up nor anything that will satisfy the masses who want something solid. There was nothing in the obituary section for the online Times newspaper and nothing in the online version of The Stage newspaper. So that would be the within six months after her former fellow radio performer Peter Tuddenham died and the year following the death of Nigel Kneale who wrote "Quatermass And The Pit" which can be said to have been Christine's screen big break.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.einsiders.com/features/columns/dec07obituaries.php">EINSIDERS.COM</a> would later come to understand that Miss Finn, according to the Times’ Births, Marriages and Deaths section, passed on at the given date at the age of 78 years. Still however, this death report , if it was published in the paper has been completely overlooked by the news and entertainments industry. It had also been reported that in an issue of the Equity journal from possibly Summer 2009, the obituaries mentioned the death of Christine Finn.<br />
<br />
And as we headed through 2013, time caught up, the Times Newspaper archive was updated to include 2007 and so this included the death announcements as published on 13th December 2007. Christine Finn aged 78 had died on the 5th of December of that year, it is mentioned that she was an actress and the names of Christine's husband and two daughters are given along with the number of her grandchildren equaling five. Her funeral mass was held on the 14th of December at the The Friary in Sample Lane in Chilworth. <br />

<span class="style_4" style="line-height: 13px;">Born In Wellington*, India, </span><span class="style_5" style="line-height: 13px;">Gained scholarship to London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, 1948. Joined Birmingham Repertory, 1950 for two years</span><span class="style_4" style="line-height: 13px;">. Later with Bristol Old Vic. First West End appearance in the original cast for Salad Days for two-and-a-half years. Now in the Moliere season at the Old Vic.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="paragraph_style">
“My earliest theatrical achievement” said Christine Finn, “was being adopted as mascot of the <a class="class1" href="http://victorian.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/victorianweb/history/empire/india/simla.html" title="http://victorian.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/victorianweb/history/empire/india/simla.html">Gaiety Theatre</a>, <a href="http://victorian.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/victorianweb/history/empire/india/simla.html" title="http://victorian.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/victorianweb/history/empire/india/simla.html">Simla</a>.” She was there with her father, an <span class="style">Indian army</span> man, and did not live in this country until 1946.</div>
<div class="paragraph_style_1">
A versatile,
intelligent player, she received much of her professional schooling in
the tough companies of the Birmingham Repertory and the Bristol Old Vic.
“The people who have influenced me most, “she says” are Douglas Seale
and Dennis Carey. Seale was producer at Birmingham. He taught me to
consider the value of the play as a whole and the value of stillness on a
stage. Through him I learnt never to act but to be the character. Yes,
it’s “Method' I suppose, but this was before the current fashion and <span class="style">we just</span> called it the Stanislavksy technique.”</div>
<div class="paragraph_style">
“No, I don’t think there
are any differences in production methods at Birmingham and Bristol. I
felt I was absorbing something new all the time, at Bristol I had
sufficient experience to begin to apply that knowledge. Dennis Carey was
the producer and seems to have a knack with me that brings out my best
work." </div>
<div class="paragraph_style">
It was at Bristol that <span class="style">Christine Finn's first big break came</span>.
"A special non-singing juvenile girl part was written specially for me
in Salad Days.” She came to London with the original cast and stayed
with it for two and a half years. </div>
<div class="paragraph_style" style="padding-bottom: 0pt;">
For the last two years, she has been working in Radio and TV (Hermia in
the recent TV Midsummer Night’s Dream, for example) culminating with a
leading part in the serial, Quatermass and The Pit. She tells of the
local postman who said “Oh no. We never look at Quatermass; we're not Catholics, you know."<br />
It was while Quatermass was still running that her old mentor, Douglas Seale, now at the London Old Vic, engaged her for its present Moliere double-bill. She plays in both Tartuffe and Sganarelle with good, strongly contrasting parts.<br />
Her Ambition? “I’d like to play Nina in The Seagull - I want to tackle that last scene.” From modern plays, the part she covets most is that of Frankie in Member of the Wedding.</div>

After a number of tours she joined Sir Barry Jackson’s Repertory Company at Birmingham, where among the many parts she played during the two years spent there, she remembers especially Hedwig in “The Wild Duck”, Juliette in “Thieves Carnival”, Dorkas in “Penny For A Song”, Tyltyl in “The Blue Bird” and Natalie, a part she created in “Ardele”. From Birmingham she came to the Arts Theatre to play in “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime” and to Embassy, Swiss Cottage, to play, Ophelia and Olivia. She returned to Birmingham to play “The Boy David” in a revival of Barrie’s play and then went into the Pre-London tour of “Angels in Love”. Before this play came into the West End, Christine decided to join the Bristol Old Vic company where she played in many notable productions until “Salad Days” was created and came to London, where for two and a half years she was playing Fiona, the young deb, at the Vaudeville Theatre. Since leaving the musical she has done a lot of television work, she is well known to viewers as Julie Belton in “Emergency Ward 10” - and comes to play Shelley in “The Wind Might Change”<br /><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635412536492892130.post-51243587743738006512011-06-16T14:01:00.002-07:002022-07-24T02:50:03.447-07:001954 Theatre Royal pamphlet article for the play 'The School of Wives'<p>

With Douglas Seale helming the director's seat who she had worked with
before on numerous occasions, Christine Finn found herself a role in
this play. Cecil Beaton wrote in his diaries about a number of events
taking place within the play that met his dismay centering around the
behaviour of the main actor, Sir Donald Wolfit who played Gainsborough,
creating a lot of trouble and attempted to ruion other people's
performances. Christine found that in once scene he gripped her arm so
tightly that he bruised it. Cecil Beaton and Wolfit found themselves at
war with one another. The play toured around Newcastle, Dublin, Brighton
and closed in Wolverhampton.</div>

In 1959, Christine Finn played the role of Hippolito in “The Tempest”, which is the role of a young man traditionally played by a woman since the 18th century. The clothing that this final “Starkiller Hero” figure wears would not seem too far out of place in a Shakespeare play, but having said that, a good number of women have played male roles in Shakespeare plays and have played the role of Peter Pan in pantomimes.
Another small note, Christine did briefly appear in one of film director Ken Annakin’s early movies “Value For Money” and he was the origin of the first name of Anakin Skywalker who in the Star Wars movies was to become Darth Vader and the father of Luke Skywalker<br />

This was the first
full-length tv studio production of MND in England. Previously, however,
there had been excerpts transmitted on television, twice in 1937 (on
Feb. 18 and Apr. 23), and then again July 24, 1946 and July 28 and 29,
1947, from the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park, as well as in January
1957 directly from the Old Vic (see 401). This production was originally
budgeted at £4,500, then considered an enormous sum of money. Despite
grumblings from studio executives, the final cost soared to over £6,000.
A cast of 12 men and 10 women, plus a Corps de Ballet of 28 contributed
to the escalating costs (WAC TS/232 Nov. 1958)</div>

<span class="style_3">"Miles Malleson, as well as directing, also plays the title role in Sganarelle, a trifle concerning mistaken identities and an old fool who believes himself to be a cuckold. As an actor Mr. Malleson has his own very recognisable mannerisms but his Sganarelle, all gobbles and shudders, is a joy; pathetic as well as laughable, while the speech on " honour " is superbly done. Christine Finn makes a charmingly delicate Celie, Barr<i>i</i>e Ingham is handsome and perplexed as Lelie, her lover, and there is a nice common- sense Nurse by Rosalind Atkinson."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When French companies come to us in Molière they seem reluctant to make a start and the intervals are inordinately long; but while the curtain is up there is no dawdling and the comedy goes with the speed of a powerful machine.When the Old Vic deviates into Moliere the curtain rises with admirable punctuality, the intervals are not unduly long, but the comedy is apt to crawl.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Miles Malleson's free adaptations of Tartuffe and Sganarelle have a great deal of stage vitality, but they rather encourage the actors to seek for individual traits of character in lines which are meant to delineatc character in terms of intellectual comedy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both Tartuffe and its curtain-raiser suffer from the leisureliness of the acting. Sganarelle, being a mere trifle, is the greater sufferer. It is a simple misunderstanding about a portrait among people afflicted by a hair-trigger sense of jealousy, and the joke turns finally on a husband who cannot rouse up enough courage to seek vengeance on the supposed lover of his wife. He finally decides to save his honour by telling everyone that the scoundrel is living with his wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Malteson gives a delightfully comic performance as the enraged sheep. Yet he dwells so lovingly on the endearing qualities of the fool that he enforces a rather heavy tempo on the rest of the company, and only Miss Christine Finn, as the little spitfire, contrives to maintain the sharpness of her initial attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If Tartuffe were taken only a little more quickly it would be a most enjoyable performance. Mr. Derek Francis's study of the eternal confidence trickster who hap- pens to have chosen piety for his ploy is well conceived and well executed. It seems a pity that he has, to take the audience so frankly into his confidence when things are going his way. Tartuffe's hypocrisy is so much an integral part of himself that it is disillusionary that he should laugh so much behind the backs of his victims, and the wink to the audience when he has turned impending disaster into triumph is surely misguided. It is unnecessary and there is no room in the theatre of Molière for unnecessary winks. But his deliberation is extremely effective in his attempted seduction of Elmire and on the whole he gives consistency to a good, drily comic, if very English reading of the hyprocrite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Miss Pauline Jameson is charming as the wife who rather enjoys the shocking temptation to which she is exposed. Mr. Gerald James is the kind of Orgon to swallow Tartuffe hook, line and sinker, having all the self-sufficiency of a natural dupe. The urbane and reasonable Cleante is played by Mr. Charles West with measure and tact and Miss Silvia Francis flutters and wilts as the timid Mariane. Miss Finn is perhaps a little too pert for Dorine, on whose solid country sense so much of the domestic comedy turns, but Miss Rosalind Atkinson plays the crusty, puritanical and fantastically silly mother-in-law with her usual gusto.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the kind of devotion to the theatre that many would like to see, but are unlikely to get, in the management of a National Theatre, the department persists in popularizing the unpopular, in making known the works of foreign contemporaries, and in adding to the repertory plays that West-End managements lack the courage to perform. I do not know when Schiller's Don Carlos (Third, November 11) was last, or ever, performed in. Britain. Thanks to H. B. Fortuin, who produced it, and to Miss Clemence Dane, who translated it and adapted it for broadcasting, I am now its aficionado. To make his romantic point Schiller distorted historical fact and Philip II (<b>Leon Quartermaine</b>) is made more monstrous than he really was, Don Carlos (<b>David Peel</b>) is seen as an innocent schemer with the light of the Pantisocracy in his eyes, and Elisabeth Valois (<b>Christine Finn</b>) is the pathetic victim of Philip's Machiavellianism. The trappings of that heaviness which makes German drama unpalatable in Britain were heard in this production, and it was amusing to realize that even Schiller could not escape using that arch- device of the German theatre, the letter.<br /><br />However, Miss Clemence Dane brought across the majesty of Schiller's lines and H. B. Fortuin had driven his cast so that they really seemed to believe in the words that they were using. The fact that history was bent a little did not matter. For Schiller used the unhappy time of Philip to write his own kind of history. When the account of the court's intrigues is ended there is left on the stage the magnificent debate between the merits of humanity and duty to a monstrous statecraft<br /><br />One does not believe it possible that Don Carlos will be trapped or that the state machine will finally win. A lesser dramatist would have shirked a last act in which Don Carlos, the brave romantic hero, is struck down and in which the tyrant wins the material victory. Schiller contrives this ending and, in the German tradition, forces the audience to make the last private, didactic, decision. Mr. Fortuin hit upon the felicitous idea of interspersing the dialogue with music composed for the organ and harpsichord by Roberto Gerhard. The music heightened and enriched the words so bravely and finely spoken. </span></div>
