"Her first biggish film role was as Christy Brown's doctor in My Left Foot, and she went on to do a wild variety of things, some you might expect (Jane Eyre, Anna Karenina, The Butcher Boy) and some you definitely wouldn't Three Men and a Little Lady, The Avengers (not that one, the other one) and the legendarily bad Super Mario Bros."
"Like many a big-league thespian though, Shaw is probably best known to film audiences for her continuing role in the Harry Potter films as the nightmarish Petunia Dursley but perhaps has outshone that on the small screen, with significant roles in Killing Eve (as spy chief Carolyn Martens), Fleabag (as Phoebe WB's counsellor), and Star Wars spinoff Andor (as Maarva, Diego Luna's adoptive mother)."
Fiona Shaw built a celebrated stage career from the 1980s, winning awards and starring in productions such as the RSC's Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1985), Machinal (1993) and an unconventional casting as Richard II (1995). She transitioned to screen with roles in My Left Foot, Jane Eyre, Anna Karenina and The Butcher Boy, plus mainstream outings including Three Men and a Little Lady, The Avengers and Super Mario Bros. She gained recognition as Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films and earned acclaim on television with Killing Eve, Fleabag and Andor. Recent films include Colette, Ammonite and Hot Milk. She leads Park Avenue as a mother reconnecting with her daughter; the film opens in UK and Irish cinemas on 14 November.
