An Irish actress with strong roots in the theater, Brenda Fricker has excelled onscreen thanks to a matronly appearance that lends itself well to roles which call for an older woman with strong motherly instincts. Fricker started out working in local theater productions in Ireland, and continued on-stage with a stint at the National Theatre in London; before long, the talented rising starlet was taking the stage with both The Royal Shakespeare Company and Great Britain's Court Theater Company. Though, by the mid-'80s, Fricker had already garnered an impressive list of credits thanks to appearances in such made-for-television features as High Kampf (1973) and Your Man from 6 Counties (1976), it was her role as Nurse Roach in the popular U.K. series Casualty that first brought her to the attention of British television viewers.

The film focuses on the relationship between Christy and his mother, played brilliantly by Brenda Fricker, who would go on to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in this film. Christy’s “Mam” provides a stark contrast to his father. While Paddy takes Christy at face value, assuming that the boy is a crippled, mute dummy, his Mam sees what no one else does: that the child’s eyes are fierce and alive and communicate an ability to overcome his disabilities.
