Film Acting
In the course of her long and varied career Ms Gold has made a number of film appearances. Her two best know film appearances both involved Gilbert and Sullivan. Her most notable film appearance is probably in Topsy Turvy under the direction of Mike Leigh. Ms Gold has also worked on several films, for Jim Henson Productions, in her capacity as a professional puppeteer.
Pirates of
Penzance (as Edith, in 1982)- Regrettably,
like all the other minor characters she did not get to do her own singing.
However, even though she was not singing she nevertheless made the most of it.
Billy
the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire (as Miss Sullivan, in 1985) - In
this Vampire-film-musical Ms Gold played a reporter covering a snooker match,
where one of the snooker players was a Vampire.
Labyrinth (as a
Ballroom Dancer, in 1986). - For once, a Henson production that she worked on
as an Actress rather than a puppeteer.
Topsy Turvy (as
Rosina Brandram, in 1999). - In Mike Leigh's new Gilbert and Sullivan
Biopic-cum backstage musical. Ms Gold plays an indefatigable member of the
Doyly Carte Company.
Crush
(as Eleanor, in 2001) - This appears to be another entertainment in the Abbasolutely
Fabulous genre of 70’s girls growing old disgracefully.
