Academy Award winner.

First Irish actress to win one.

I did not know until I read that article that she was an Oscar winner... "My Left Foot" is not my lane for movies, but that's just me. RIP, Brenda

People should really check out the song Pigeon Lady by Wolfie's Just Fine. Really beautiful and mournful song from this character's p.o.v. 30 years later.

I mainly remember her from the UK hospital drama series "Casualty".
