I saw her in Master class and was BLOWN AWAY. Talk about commanding the stage. I so wish I'd seen her in other performances. She is in my opinion the best actress to have ever lived. No one beats her. Total mastery of her craft. What an artist and on top of that incredibly generous human being it seems. Grateful I got to see her live.
Her Medea is the final word on that great Euripides play - I don't think anyone else has ever achieved it as she did. And she had the great Robinson Jeffers loose translation - wonderful poetry like the original ancient Greek.
I was very blessed as a 20-year-old theatre student at the University of Tennessee to work in modest capacity on the first leg of that production, with UT's professional company The Clarence Brown Theatre Company. I took notes for the director during rehearsals and typed them up. So I got to watch firsthand as she built the character and the performance. {And to this day have that stark and wonderful Jeffers text largely by heart. Ms Caldwell's and Dame Judith Anderson's performances branded those words into me. I'm with you; I love those words!}. It was an astonishing experience live; the air crackled. Every time, even in rehearsals. I learned more from those several weeks and all the performances I could manage to attend than I did in many classes.
@@ericdeubanks How I envy you, omg. I've seen every Caldwell performance on Broadway (and Off) since "Jean Brodie." No one like her. Your experience observing those two theatrical titans at work must be a treasured memory you cherish. How lucky you are, bro!
Ms. Caldwell has to be one of the most compelling actresses in the history of the English-speaking theater. Let's hope that she does indeed find a role she wants to play soon.
Caldwell is incandescent--a shy, slightly naughty sprite. But the interviewer tends to steamroll over things focusing too rigidly on her questions. Not the most attentive to nuances--e.g., Caldwell says near the end that "she was afraid" of acting or teaching (a bit unclear) and the interviewer ignores it. It descends to "I did this, then this, then that" without a whole lot of attention to the psychological insight Caldwell brings to her parts or what motivates her--i.e., the good stuff.

She was such a talented actress. You could really feel the emotion with her. Rest in peace, Zoe Caldwell.
Just watched her in Medea. She was awesome.
What an astonishing and moving interview. A treasure.
Gorgeous woman, amazingly talented and a true friend.
R.I.P. Zoe, Press F to pay respects.

Joan Sutton I saw her in it with Judith Anderson and then Diana Rigg and Fiona Shaw. I much preferred them over Caldwell, Shaw's being the best.
@@sjcohen4444 I saw all of them, as well. Caldwell and Anderson by far the most mythic, most majestic, and by far the most savage.

yep, bad interviewer for sure..
It's a child's mind trying to comprehend a Grandmaster.
How comes there's only 76 views???
Because this is the first time it turned up as a suggestion on you tube. Didn't know it existed
Zoe Caldwell is Talent with a Capital T.
god why dint that silly interviewer ask her about working with Tennessee Williams????? a shame.
So sad , we have lost her . I wish I could have seen all the greats in theater.
@@stevepope6095 she was the queen of the stage, best performances I ever saw, we miss u madame Caldwell....Peace.
Oh my god she needs to do an AMSR
Terrible interviewer. Zoe did a great job in spite of this steam roller Linda Winer.
she seemed very nervous, that interview lady....alas
I don't agree.
Ok I'll and stitch
Sons?! Can you imagine here as your mother?!
Her accent is a mix of British aristrocrat and Austrian grand dame.
people are uncultured swine?
RIP Grand Councilwoman o7
