Star of epic set for Rosy reception at film festival

MEMORIES of heady days in the late 1960s when the cinematic epic Ryan’s Daughter was shot on the Dingle Peninsula will be recalled when one of the stars, Sarah Miles, returns next month.

The British actress played the lead role of Rosy Ryan, which earned her an Academy Award nomination, and she will be a special guest at a film festival in An Daingean, taking place from September 6 to 9.

She will participate in a panel discussion with local people and a number of others who were involved in the David Lean film.
