Mulit-talented Clare earned her place in movie immortality when she starred as the scheming – but well-meaning – Susan in Gregory’s Girl (1980).

The Scottish star has personally picked the four films featuring in this short Reel Women season – August 7 and August 12, Clueless (Amy Heckerling, 1995), August 14 and August 19, The Piano (Jane Campion, 1993), September 5 and September 9, For Sama (Waad al-Kateab, 2019) and September 19 and September 23, Babyteeth (Shannon Murphy, 2020).
