The 77-year old actress who has worked with some of the greatest names in British film and Hollywood has said she would not work with anyone who did not have a sense of humour.

She said: " I don't want to work with anybody who doesn't have a sense of humour. You work very hard but if someone has a great sense of humour you get great returns from it." The actress is currently starring alongside Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska in the latest adaptation of Jane Eyre, where she stars as warm housekeeper of Thornfield Hall, Mrs Fairfax.

She spoke of Fassbender, adding: "He is very refreshing, quite anarchic and very gentle on set. He has a great sense of humour."
