She also received a Tony nomination for that performance. At the Venice Film Festival, she won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress for her work in the TV play She’s Been Away.

In an interview, Geraldine James got candid about how she stays fit and healthy. Apart from trying to live an active life, she’s also mindful of her diet. She revealed that she had tried the vegan diet for some months and felt fantastic afterward. “At the beginning of last year, I got bored with myself and wanted to do something different,” said the actress.

“So I went vegan for three months and gave up alcohol, caffeine, dairy, wheat and meat. It was fantastic; I loved it.” However, her doctor had advised her that she need meat, especially because she’s in her 60s. While she started eating meat again, she still practices a clean diet plan overall. To make healthy snacks, she even makes her own smoothies.
