Shirley Anne has interspersed her film career with theatre and TV performances in Britain and around the world. She played the lead in Wait until Dark in South Africa. She played the part of "Pamela" in the U.S. television drama Santa Barbara. In the eighties Shirley Anne met up again with Stephen Frears, with whom she had worked when they were both beginners at the Royal Court.

Field was elected Chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee in June 2015. Following the 2017 general election he was re-elected unopposed. In August 2018, Field resigned the Labour whip citing antisemitism in the party, as well as a "culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation" in parts of the party, including in his own constituency.[2] Field lost a confidence vote in his constituency party a month before his resignation, after siding with the government in Brexit votes. His resignation of the whip also led to his departure from the wider membership of the Labour Party, according to the Labour National Executive Committee, although Field disputed this.[3] Gallery: Listen To Their Voice: Frank Field 00:00 / 00:27 Location Of Memorial: Not publicly known Memorial Created By: Anonymous
