Sarah Craze (born 1948 in Leeds) is a British actress who appeared on
stage and television during the 1970s and 1980s, and was known for the
command and sensitivity of her performances.Craze studied acting at
the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, London, graduating in 1969. The
following year, she appeared in two television mini-series, playing
Beth in Little Women, and Kate Meyrick in the 1970 version of Daniel
Deronda. In 1971, she had a regular part as the secretary in the
series Hine. When this ended after one series, one reviewer commented,
"we shall miss some attractive actors ... [including] a strangely
attractive girl in Sarah Craze". Stage appearances in the following
years included a modern play, Children of the Wolf, of which one
reviewer commented, "Quite the most startling and striking performance
of the evening .. comes from Sarah Craze, whose menace as the
daughter, Linda, is quickly established and never relents in its
unmerciful progress to climactic inevitability. She is an actress of
whom we should hear more." In 1973, she appeared with the Oxford
Playhouse Company and the Royal Lyceum Theatre Company. Her
performance with the former in J.M. Barrie's Dear Brutus was described
as "an exceptionally sensitive characterisation." Television
appearances included the 1973 film of Christopher Hampton's Total
Eclipse, and significant roles in an episode of the series Colditz
(1974) and Softly, Softly (1975). In 1977, Craze worked with London
Contemporary Productions and with the Worcester Repertory Company. A
review of the Worcester Repertory's performance of Mrs Warren's
Profession in 1977 said, "The evening is a triumph for Sarah Craze ...
She is emphatic, brusque, matter-of-fact ... Yet there is never much
doubt of the warm, desperate person beneath the surface." Sarah Craze Biography, Weight & Height, Age, Nationality & Ethnicity
