From All Movie Guide: An elegant, blonde beauty once considered the American equivalent to Bridgit Bardot, Lee Remick was a star of stage, screen, and television. Before launching her acting career on-stage and in television in the 1950s, Remick was a professional dancer. She made quite a splash as a sexy young drum majorette in Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd (1957). Early in her career, Remick excelled in playing saucy flirts; she eventually matured into a versatile actress noted for the subtle depth she gave her characterizations and specialized in playing manipulators in films such as The Long Hot Summer (1957) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959). She ... did well as a victim in films like Days of Wine and Roses (1962). When not busy in films, Remick was building her reputation on stage and television.

Steve McQueen and Lee Remick ignite sparks in this impassioned drama about a rootless drifter and the woman who loves him. Georgette Thomas (Remick) arrives with her small daughter in Columbus, Texas, to join her husband, Henry (McQueen), who has just been paroled from the state penitentiary. He'd been serving time for stabbing a man in a drunken brawl. His hopes pinned to a career as a songwriter, Henry returns to singing and playing guitar in bawdy roadhouses. Slim (Don Murray), a quiet-spoken deput sheriff, grows attached to Georgette and the child and does what he can to keep the volatile Henry in line. But, when Henry's tantrums become increasingly more violent, Slim is forced to stop him, bringing the film to a shattering climax.

Beginning particularly around the time of Remick's 1970 move to London following her marriage to the British director William "Kip" Gowans, Remick faced the bane of so many ingenues turned mature women—a dearth of lead roles in major motion pictures. Over the next 21 years until her premature death in 1991 from cancer, the second phase of her career took her down the now-familiar path into television films and mini-series. Two of Remick's best performances during this period were in mini-series that offered her challenging roles: 1974's Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill and 1987's Nutcracker: Money, Madness, Murder. In the former, Remick fulfilled a long-time ambition by playing the title role, the American-born mother of Winston Churchill, and was triumphant in capturing the woman's flamboyancy and in portraying her from age 18 to 67. Remick (and the series) won universal critical praise, but especially in England where she earned an award from the British Academy. The based-on-fact Nutcracker provided Remick with another memorable role—Frances Schreuder, a narcissistic socialite who plots, with her eldest son, the murder of her father fearing he plans to cut her out of his multimillion dollar fortune.
