Latest role. Playing Miss Havisham in the PBS miniseries Great Expectations. I love getting paid to be a nut job. On moving between America and Britain, where I live now. I was born in the United States, spent my formative years in the United Kingdom, then moved to Michigan when I was 11. Initially I was excited about the adventure. I didn’t take into account how much my Britishness would set me apart. What’s British and what’s American about me. I was just in Los Angeles and the sun was shining and I was smiling a lot. I feel like I’m a nicer person when I&rsqu ... [Continua a leggere]
