Anna Quayle in AHDN and beyond

One of the best of the many memorable vignettes in “A Hard Day’s Night” is the exchange between John and “Millie,” played by the wonderful character actress Anna Quayle. In this video is the full scene, followed by Quayle a few years later in an episode of “The Avengers”, and then in a brief role from the 1981 production of “Brideshead Revisited.” Nickolas Grace is the outrageous Anthony Blanche, with a performance that’s over-the-top, yet more reserved than Tim Curry probably would have done it. I end the clip with Anna Quayle talking about her part in AHDN.

  1. Great video!! My site above is a fan site for Anna.

    Still think her greatest role was Chitty Bang Bang with the strange S&M relationship in a childrens movie….Loved her in Drop dead darling too!!

  2. Thanks, Lia. I happened to have the video source material handy. Margaret Nolan also appeared in “Brideshead Revisited” but I don’t have her episode on hand at the moment.
