Camilla Horn as Miranda Glyde
Miranda is the only daughter of Chetwyn Glyde by his second wife, Annalisa Dunwoody. Miranda was just eight years old when her mother had a nervous breakdown and took up residence in a nursing home, where she remains. As a child, Miranda was not permitted to visit her mother; as an adult her visits have been rare, and largely controlled by her father.
Thereafter Miranda was raised by a succession of nannies and governesses until, when she was thirteen, she was sent to an exclusive and expensive boarding school (it was rumoured that the price of Miranda’s admittance to this prestigious institution was a new wing on the library). After that she completed her education at Vasser, graduating in 1933. Among her peer group, she was known as “The Kid” because of a certain vulnerability in her character that made those in her group inclined to baby her.
That vulnerability has led to rumours that she takes a little too closely after her mother.
Yet to her friends, Miranda has always seemed a bright, happy and friendly young woman, in awe and some fear of her father, but devoted and loyal to her two brothers. She dislikes her father’s mistress, Nellie Nolan, and seems to detest his assistant, David Olson.
