Elaine C Smith talks about her life and career in Glasgow as she is presented with the Freedom of the City.
Actress and comedy star Elaine C Smith was granted the Freedom of the City of Glasgow as part of the city's 850th birthday celebrations. She is sitting in the Lord Provost’s dining room at City Chambers and says she has found the award “overwhelming” but is looking forward to being joined by her family for the occasion.
Elaine said: ”As a newly minted Freeman of Glasgow, I must say, it's quite the honour. But let's be clear, while I may be a 'Freeman' by title, I am, and always will be, a freewoman at heart.”
Elaine has a prolific career spanning more than 40 years in radio, television, film, and theatre. She is best known for her roles, portraying strong female characters, in television comedy series such as City Lights, Naked Video, as Mary Nesbitt in Rab C Nesbitt and her award-winning role as Christine in Two Doors Down.
We sat down to look back over her career and talk about her life in Glasgow.
