Known as the "Grand Dame of British Cinema", Syms was a major player in films from the mid-1950s until mid-1960s, usually in stiff-upper-lip English pictures, as opposed to kitchen sink realism dramas, before becoming more of a supporting actress in both film and television roles. On television, she was known for her recurring role as dressmaker Olive Woodhouse on the BBC soap opera ''EastEnders''. She was also a notable theatre player.
Syms portrayed Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in the 2006 biopic ''The Queen''. Provided by Wikipedia
