A Canadian actress who found success in both the London and New York theater scenes, the black-haired beauty appears here dressed in a medieval-style, pearl-encrusted white gown (perhaps an homage to her legendary role as Rosamond in "Becket"), with an ornate stained-glass window forming a nimbus behind her head; lettering in green against a red, purple, and gold background.
