Janet McTeer’s enormous breasts in Albert Nobbs (2011)

Film clip

I’ve always found Janet McTeer to have deserved a better career than she actually had, her two Oscar nominations notwithstanding. She has been great in every role I’ve ever seen, and those roles run the full gamut of possibilities, from a woman posing as a man, to a contract killer, to the usual assortment of period pieces and “my dear Nigel” movies that every actress with an English accent is shunted into. I also call these “so” movies, because the unstressed word “so” appears in many sentences of dialogue after the stressed word, sometimes more than once, as in “I do so love it; ever so much.” (Sentence stress in bold)

I don’t really know what kept her off the A-list. Maybe her imposing physical presence made her difficult to cast when she was young. A lot of leading men standing next to her would look like Dopey standing next to Snow White. Whatever the reason, it’s too bad she didn’t get to do any good nude roles when she was young, because the body was still lookin’ incredible at 40 in The Intended.

At any rate, she has found some kind of solid niche lately, playing authority figures. She is 60 now, so I think her nude career has probably passed its expiration date.
