Actor and writer. Massey worked in theatre, television and film. She had no formal training at either drama school or in repertory. She made her first appearance on stage in May 1955 at the age of 17, at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, in 'The Reluctant Debutante', and subsequently made her first London appearance in the same play at the Cambridge Theatre in May 1955. From the early 1960s Massey became an archetypal West End leading lady. But a major shift in her career occurred in 1971 when she went to the Royal Court to appear in David Hare's 'Slag', after which time she acted in memorable productions of plays by GB Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter (Guardian website).
