We rate her economy, though the pleasant family sequels are not where we would start with an actor capable of carrying *Vera Drake*. In *Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget* (2023), Bunty needs only a lowered eyelid to look furious. We laughed at how little movement was needed to make her displeasure clear. Staunton supplies the voice, and the animators deserve their share of the credit. Her briskness suits a character who needs no elaborate introduction. Within a sequel we found neat and mostly pleasant, that small piece of bad temper is welcome. The supporting work was there before the leading breakthrough. In *Much Ado About Nothing* (1993), she plays Margaret, while Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh provide the sparring romance that makes the film worth an evening. Its physical comedy sometimes needs restraint, though that is a reservation about the film rather than a charge against Staunton. Bunty followed in *Chicken Run* (2000), before the title role in *Vera Drake* (2004) gave her a film breakthrough. She continued taking supporting and voice roles afterwards. The limitation is often the size of the job. Mike Leigh's *Vera Drake* centres on a 1950s housewife performing illegal abortions, giving Staunton the responsibility of sustaining a whole film rather than contributing to an ensemble. Later came Dolores Umbridge, the authoritarian professor in *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix* (2007), and Queen Elizabeth II in the final seasons of *The Crown* (2022–2023). Those prominent parts complicate any account of her as chiefly a dependable supporting player. We would like more leading film roles of that weight, rather than further evidence that she can be useful in a large cast. The recurring voice roles remain useful work, with Aunt Lucy taking her from *Paddington* (2014) to Dougal Wilson's *Paddington in Peru* (2024). The latter is kind and brisk, but it feels more like a sequel than we would like. Neither it nor *Dawn of the Nugget* gives us enough reason to recommend the whole film on Staunton's presence alone. For a fuller sense of what she can carry, start with *Vera Drake*. ## Biography Imelda Mary Philomena Bernadette Staunton is an English actress and singer. After training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she began her career in repertory theatre in 1976 and has appeared in numerous stage productions in the West End and across the United Kingdom. On stage she has won five Laurence Olivier Awards, including one for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Play for *A Chorus of Disapproval* and *The Corn Is Green* (1985) and four for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for *Into the Woods* (1991), *Sweeney Todd* (2013), *Gypsy* (2016) and *Hello, Dolly!* (2025). She has received fourteen Olivier nominations in total. Her film roles include the title character in *Vera Drake* (2004), for which she won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role and was nominated for an Academy Award, Dolores Umbridge in the *Harry Potter* films, Knotgrass in the *Maleficent* films, and the voice of Aunt Lucy in the *Paddington* films (2014, 2017, 2024) and Bunty in the *Chicken Run* films (2000, 2023). She portrayed Queen Elizabeth II in the final two seasons of *The Crown*. *Sources: en.wikipedia.org, imdb.com.* ## On Fi1m (29) - *& Sons* (2026), Fi1m 58, as Isabel — [page](https://film.one/film/and-sons.md) - *Paddington in Peru* (2024), Fi1m 64, as Aunt Lucy (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/paddington-in-peru.md) - *Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget* (2023), Fi1m 64, as Bunty (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/chicken-run-dawn-of-the-nugget.md) - *Alan Bennett's Talking Heads* (2020), Fi1m 75, as Irene Ruddock — [page](https://film.one/tv/alan-bennetts-talking-heads.md) - *A Confession* (2019), Fi1m 80, as Karen Edwards — [page](https://film.one/tv/a-confession.md) - *Downton Abbey* (2019), Fi1m 64, as Maud Bagshaw — [page](https://film.one/film/downton-abbey-2019.md) - *Maleficent: Mistress of Evil* (2019), Fi1m 46, as Knotgrass — [page](https://film.one/film/maleficent-mistress-of-evil.md) - *Paddington 2* (2017), Fi1m 91, as Aunt Lucy (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/paddington-2.md) - *The Crown* (2016), Fi1m 78, as Queen Elizabeth II — [page](https://film.one/tv/the-crown.md) - *Maleficent* (2014), Fi1m 55, as Knotgrass — [page](https://film.one/film/maleficent.md) - *Paddington* (2014), Fi1m 84, as Aunt Lucy (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/paddington.md) - *Pride* (2014), Fi1m 82, as Hefina — [page](https://film.one/film/pride.md) - *The Girl* (2012), Fi1m 64, as Alma Reville Hitchcock — [page](https://film.one/film/the-girl.md) - *Arthur Christmas* (2011), Fi1m 82, as Mrs Santa (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/arthur-christmas.md) - *Alice in Wonderland* (2010), Fi1m 48, as Talking Flowers (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/alice-in-wonderland-2010.md) - *Another Year* (2010), Fi1m 87, as Janet — [page](https://film.one/film/another-year.md) - *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1* (2010), Fi1m 67, as Dolores Umbridge — [page](https://film.one/film/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-1.md) - *Cranford* (2007), Fi1m 84, as Miss Pole — [page](https://film.one/tv/cranford.md) - *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix* (2007), Fi1m 68, as Dolores Umbridge — [page](https://film.one/film/harry-potter-and-the-order-of-the-phoenix.md) - *Doctor Who* (2005), Fi1m 78, as Interface (voice) — [page](https://film.one/tv/doctor-who-2005.md) - *ShakespeaRe-Told* (2005), Fi1m 66, Actor — [page](https://film.one/tv/shakespeare-told.md) - *Vera Drake* (2004), Fi1m 84, as Vera Drake — [page](https://film.one/film/vera-drake.md) - *Little Britain* (2003), Fi1m 58, as Mrs. Mead — [page](https://film.one/tv/little-britain.md) - *Chicken Run* (2000), Fi1m 84, as Bunty (voice) — [page](https://film.one/film/chicken-run.md) - *Shakespeare in Love* (1998), Fi1m 79, as Nurse — [page](https://film.one/film/shakespeare-in-love.md) - *Twelfth Night* (1996), Fi1m 70, as Maria — [page](https://film.one/film/twelfth-night-1996.md) - *Sense and Sensibility* (1995), Fi1m 85, as Charlotte Jennings Palmer — [page](https://film.one/film/sense-and-sensibility.md) - *Much Ado About Nothing* (1993), Fi1m 78, as Margaret — [page](https://film.one/film/much-ado-about-nothing.md) - *Peter's Friends* (1992), Fi1m 72, as Mary Charleston — [page](https://film.one/film/peters-friends.md) ## Complete filmography (126) Every credit, newest first.
