On location: Girl in the Headlines (1963)
At age 13 Renée Galler was a WWII evacuee sent to Welwyn Garden City, where there happened to be a film studio. At 17 she was employed there, and since then she has worked in all the major studios in a career spanning 65 years as Continuity/Script Supervisor on over 80 films.
Madame Sin (1972)
She worked on Caesar and Cleopatra and Brief Encounter before she was 20, and then, as Renée Glynne, on The Quatermass Xperiment at 28, the Rolling Stones film Sympathy for the Devil at 40, Aces High and The New Avengers at 50, and A Room with a View and The Krays in her sixties. In her seventies, the thriller Crimetime was followed by training aspiring Script Supervisors at Raindance and FT2, and then horror films Lighthouse, The Asylum and Kannibal.
The Golden Lady (1979)
Still in the business today, Renée maintains “the best medicine is Dr Film Industry for all ills and longevity”. She now spends much of her time painting in oils and exhibiting on Sundays on the Bayswater Road, her dog Spartacus accompanying her.
Renée Glynne will be in conversation with film critic and actor Jonathan Rigby.
