Joanne Whalley Career

In the post-punk era, she flirted with the fringes of the Manchester New Wave scene and was briefly a member of a Stockport-based band called the Slowguns, but left before the release of their two singles. Later, she was the lead singer of the pop group Cindy & The Saffrons; they recorded the Shangri-Las' song "Past, Present and Future" in 1982 at Abbey Road Studios, and the track made the UK singles charts, peaking at #56. The next year they recorded "Terry", written and originally recorded by Twinkle, but this single failed to chart. The group split up soon afterward.

Acting career

In 1982, she played Ingrid Rothwell in A Kind of Loving, a well-received Granada TV adaptation of Stan Barstow's three Vic Brown novels.

Whalley came to prominence on British television as Emma Craven in Troy Kennedy Martin's Edge of Darkness (1985), then as Nurse Mills in the Dennis Potter-written serial The Singing Detective (1986)—both for BBC Television. In 1987, she played Jackie in the TV film Will You Love Me Tomorrow; she also played a role in The Good Father (1985), another Channel 4-backed film.

Whalley met the American actor Val Kilmer in 1987 while filming the fantasy adventure Willow. After their wedding in 1988, she moved to Los Angeles and began using 'Joanne Whalley-Kilmer' as her professional SAG-AFTRA name. She continued making more films in Hollywood than in the UK. In 1989, Whalley-Kilmer played the role of Christine Keeler in Scandal alongside stars John Hurt and Sir Ian McKellen. In 1991, she starred in the mystery noir Shattered.

In 1994, she was the lead actress in Trial By Jury, with co-stars Armand Assante and William Hurt, among others. Also in 1994, she became the second actress to play Gone with the Wind heroine Scarlett O'Hara when she appeared in a made-for-TV adaptation of the sequel novel, Scarlett. She later starred in the 1997 film The Man Who Knew Too Little.

After her divorce from Kilmer in 1996, for personal and professional reasons, she changed her surname back to Whalley. Whalley played the title character in the 2000 television film Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. She later collaborated with the pop-punk band Blink-182, reading a letter at the beginning of the song "Stockholm Syndrome". In 2005, she appeared as Queen Mary I in The Virgin Queen, a BBC serial about the life of Queen Elizabeth I which also starred Anne-Marie Duff and Tara FitzGerald. That same year she filmed Played which also starred her ex-husband Val Kilmer. However, the two did not share any scenes together. In 2006, she appeared in Life Line, a two-part drama on BBC1, starring opposite Ray Stevenson.

In February 2008, she appeared on stage in Billy Roche's Poor Beast in the Rain presented by the Salem K. Theatre Company at the Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles. In that same year, Whalley was also a regular in the ITV mini series Flood with Robert Carlyle amongst others.

In 2011, Whalley played one of the female leads, Vannozza dei Cattanei, mistress of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, future Pope Alexander VI, in the Showtime historical drama The Borgias. She guest-starred as Princess Sophie in season 4 of Gossip Girl. With the cast of 44 Inch Chest, she shared the Best Ensemble Award at the San Diego Film Critics Society Awards 2010. The film reunited her with John Hurt, with whom she had done two previous films. In 2014 she played Aunt Patience in Jamaica Inn for BBC One. In 2015, she played Claudia, the wife of Pontius Pilate, in A.D. The Bible Continues, and Catherine of Aragon in the BBC miniseries Wolf Hall.

In 2018, she appeared in the third season of Daredevil as Sister Maggie.

In 2020, Whalley starred in Eleanor Coppola's anthology film Love Is Love Is Love. It was scheduled to have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2020, but the festival was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film subsequently premiered at the Deauville American Film Festival in France in September of that year.

In November 2022, she will reprise her role as Sorsha in the Disney+ Willow sequel series.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Has William's nose been put out of joint by King Charles's reliance on Queen Camilla deputising for him while he recovers from cancer ? In addition to presenting the Royal Maundy, she will speak at the Commonwealth Day celebrations on Monday. Provisional arrangements have been created for her to represent her at the Chelsea Flower Show, the D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations, Garter Day, Royal Ascot, and Trooping the Colour. William has reportedly stated his willingness to help, but he has yet to be asked. The long tradition of monarchs being suspicious of their heirs is also present.

Watch out Kate! So far, England has had five Queen Catherines, but it hasn't always been well

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 2, 2023
Millions of people now think of her as plain Kate. However, if her husband, Prince of Wales, takes the throne in due course, we will have a sixth Queen Catherine. She is already playing the part, balancing her royal duties with a healthy dose of humor - and a lot has been reported about her discipline in the face of an overwhelming public interest. However, as the author of a new book, The Catherine Code, points out, today's young royals' challenges are nothing to the snake pits occupied by their historic predecessors. They were playing a royal game in which one wrong move could have resulted in death. One Catherine was killed and a third was arrested - incorrectly - of poisoning the king. According to author Bob Casey, five royal namesakes were sick and often mistreated by their husbands, and most often mistreated by their husbands.' Watch out Kate!

RICHARD KAY: Goodbye to the Great Gambon - His rich voice lit up a number of classics from Harry Potter to Singing Detective. But behind his enigmatic public persona was a complex double life with a wife in Kent and a lover in London

RICHARD KAY: From the bedridden crime writer in The Singing Detective whose naked body is slathered in lotion by an alluringly stunning Joanne Whalley to the all-knowing Dumbledore, the wizarding school Hogwarts of the Harry Potter franchise's, to sadistic crime boss Eddie Temple in Layer Cake, his roles were as diverse and obscure as the man himself. He was the master of the disarming one-liner, assuaging one interviewer who wondered if it was difficult to portray the homosexual author Oscar Wilde in a TV film that it was straightforward since he used to be gay himself. "I had to give it up after a dramatic pause," he said. 'It made my eyes water.'
