Plot
A luminous star of the stage and screen, Jessica Tandy led a life of ambition and elegance that few could match. After early struggles with her father's death, a bout of tuberculosis, and a failed marriage, she went on to enjoy long-lasting personal and professional successes; in 65 years as an actress, Tandy never stopped to rest on her many laurels. Join Lifetime's Intimate Portrait series as narrator Sigourney Weaver uncovers the story behind one of the most respected and admired actresses of the last century. Despite her many unforgettable characters, from the manic Blanche DuBois to the irrepressible Miss Daisy, and amidst her very public life as Hume Cronyn's longtime partner, Jessica Tandy always remained her own woman -- a strong, independent spirit with a playful and touchingly vulnerable humanity.~ Sarah Welsh, All Movie Guide
