Garson's early professional appearances were on stage, starting at Birmingham Repertory Theatre in January 1932, when she was 27 years old. Her co-worker there, George Sanders, wrote in his autobiography that it was Garson who suggested he take up a career in acting. While aspiring to be an actress, she was appointed head of the research library of LINTAS in the marketing department of Lever Brothers. Garson read French and 18th-century literature at King's College London and did her postgraduate studies at the University of Grenoble. It was often erroneously reported Greer Garson was born there ( The Macmillan International Film Encyclopedia gives her place of birth as County Down, and year of birth as 1908).

While there, he lived in a large detached house called 'Clairemount', which was built on the lower part of what was known as Pig Street, or locally known as the Back Way, near Shilliday's builder's yard. In the 1870s or 1880s he became a land steward to the wealthy Annesley family, who built the town of Castlewellan. 1848-1913 from Kilrea, County Londonderry), was an RIC sergeant stationed in Castlewellan, County Down. Her maternal grandfather David Greer ( c. The name Greer is a contraction of MacGregor, another family name. Her father was born in London to Scottish parents, and her mother was born at Drumalore (usually spelled as Drumalure or Drumaloor), a townland near Belturbet in County Cavan, Ireland. Greer Garson was born on 29 September 1904 in Manor Park, East Ham (then in Essex, now part of Greater London), the only child of Nancy Sophia 'Nina' (née Greer 1880–1958) and George Garson (1865–1906), a commercial clerk in a London importing business. The fourth most-nominated woman for the Best Actress Oscar, Garson received seven Academy Award nominations, including a record-tying (with Bette Davis) five consecutive nominations (1941–1945) in the actress category, winning for her performance in the title role of the 1942 film Mrs. She was a major star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer who became popular during the Second World War for her portrayal of strong women on the homefront listed by the Motion Picture Herald as one of America's top-ten box office draws from 1942 to 1946. Chris McNeil will basically be playing the same character as the old woman in the first Insidious film anyway.Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson CBE (29 September 1904 – 6 April 1996) was a British-American actress and singer. Weirdly enough from what I've heard it feels more like an Insidious sequel than an Exorcist sequel.

Blatty's dead, Friedkin is in his 90s and only Ellen Burstyn is confirmed as returning and she's admitted that this was due to the money (which I respect, she's using it to fund a university course). Blatty (the original author) wrote the screenplay, Friedkin was an amazing (but obsessive) director who loved the book (he called it the best source material he's ever been given to work with) and all of the cast understood the importance of the work and wanted to do their best.

Obviously the original movie was made to earn money too but the primary goal was to make a great film out of a great book. It's being made solely to cash-in on nostalgia and make money rather than being made to adapt a great novel into a film. I feel it won't have the same soul and intent. It's why I'm concerned about the new sequel (Exorcist: Believer) which I fear will be as close to an exact remake of the original as possible but with just enough changes to call it a sequel. It wouldn't work today because it wouldn't be made with the same level of care and people wouldn't be as interested. It was a perfect storm of the right cast, crew and zeitgeist. For me, it's the Exorcist, it is a movie of it's time.
