A role that slipped away
Emilia Fox played Lynne Frederick in the 2004 film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, which had Geoffrey Rush in the lead. The final edit removed a whole section about the Frederick/Sellers relationship, though Fox appears briefly in a background shot near the end.
Beyond film
Fox provided the voice of "Bettina" in the 2008 English DVD re-release of Free Jimmy, a cult Norwegian animated film from 2006. Simon Pegg wrote the dialogue.
