Miranda Harcourt honoured - Lilith7 - 31-12-2022
And extremely well deserved, imo. She does have the advantage of coming from a well known acting family - Kate Harcourt is her mother & most will also know of her daughter, Thomasin who's also hugely talented.
But she's done far more than perform & coach, & has also worked in prisons & with Women's Refuge.

"Everyone in her family; from the 16-year-old – youngest daughter Davida – to the 95-year-old – Dame Kate – had a strong social conscience, driven by story, she said.
“If you can use story as a tool to ignite an actor’s passion for telling a story, then the performance will lift.
“That’s where I get my joy.”
She also believed being made a dame was a way to raise awareness of domestic violence in the country as ambassador of Women’s Refuge, particularly at a time like New Year when rates of violence were high."
