Tim Sullivan
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sylvia Syms had played Thatcher before in 1982's 'Anyone for Denis?'—making her the definitive screen Iron Lady until Meryl arrived.
This aired mere months after Thatcher's actual resignation, making it essentially instant historical fiction. British television wasted NO time.
