Lolly Howe
Lolly Howe’s kind of a chameleon herself, honestly—she just slips into these roles and disappears, but not in a way where you forget her. More like, she’s got this low-key intensity that keeps you curious. In Tune is a standout, for sure. It’s not your average drama, you know? There’s this undercurrent of music threading through all the chaos—characters stumbling, trying to find some harmony in their mess of a world. Howe’s performance there is so raw, so unfiltered, it almost feels like you’re eavesdropping on someone’s real breakdown.
Then there’s A Haunting in Cawdor from 2015, which, let’s be real, could’ve gone super cheesy but dodges that bullet. Howe brings this edge to her character—never over-the-top, but you can always tell there’s something twitching under the surface. It’s a horror story, yeah, but she gives it a little more grit than your usual scream queen stuff. The Chameleon (2001) is another one where she’s not just window dressing. Even in a cast packed with talent, she holds her own, bringing this sneaky vulnerability that sneaks up on you.
Basically, if Lolly Howe pops up in the credits, you know it’s not gonna be some phoned-in, forgettable side role. She’s got this vibe—sometimes intense, sometimes weirdly funny, but always real. It’s like she can turn any scene into something you want to rewind and watch again, just to catch what you missed the first time.
