Patricia Claire Blume CBE (born 15 February 1931) is an English film and stage actress whose career has spanned over six decades. She is famous for leading roles in plays such as A Streetcar Named Desire, A Doll’s House, and Long Day's Journey into Night, and has starred in nearly sixty films.
After an uprooted and unstable childhood in war-torn England, Bloom studied drama, which became her passion. She had her debut on the London stage when she was sixteen, and soon took roles in various Shakespeare plays. They included Hamlet, in which she played Ophelia alongside Richard Burton, with whom she would have a "long and stormy" first love affair. For her Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, critic Kenneth Tynan stated it was “the best Juliet I've ever seen.” And after she starred as Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire, its playwright, Tennessee Williams, was "exultant," stating, "I declare myself absolutely wild about Claire Bloom."
In 1952, Bloom was discovered by Hollywood film star Charlie Chaplin, who had been searching for months for an actress with "beauty, talent, and a great emotional range," to co-star alongside him in Limelight. It became Bloom's film debut and made her into an international film star. During her lengthy film career, she starred alongside numerous major actors, including Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Paul Scofield, Ralph Richardson, Yul Brynner, George C. Scott, James Mason, Paul Newman and Rod Steiger, whom she would marry.

TV production, England 1986. Two marvelous, gifted actresses in a funny tour-de-force!
Produced and directed by Harold French, this is an excellent courtroom drama, with a fine performance by Eric Portman using his clipped voice to the greatest advantage. The film opens with a nicely staged murder in Prague (and we see who the murderer is) - then immediately we're whisked away to London where we're in a night club being entertained by Carroll Gibbons' orchestra to which are dancing Michael Dennison and his about-to-be fiancée, Claire Bloom. A lovely start! But it soon develops into something far more troubling. There is actually no point in giving a story break-down here - it would only confuse the intricate plot even more as the case of libel among the upper echelons, hinging on just one important ‘letter', is complex enough. Suffice to say that Porter plays a powerful so...
