Not at all, no I didn’t know who she was, I’d never heard of her. Uhm so the script came to my door and I was just sort of, I don’t know I just thought she was so extraordinary, thought it was you know it’s the story of a survivor and uh somebody that has to compromise so hugely and yet comes through the other side and I don’t know I thought she was quite inspiring and at the same time incredibly sympathetic and I think its impossible not to feel empathy towards this character. Cause she is, she’s this huge public persona and absolutely loves attention, loves sort of being the center of everything, loves she’s a huge fashion icon and politically incredibly influential and yet incredibly venerable and unbelievably lonely and in this kind of stifling marriage so I just I thought she was amazing. |

Yeah she was I mean very very modern for time and you know the fact that she a political hostess at a point when women couldn’t even vote was amazing. And she was outrageous and was kind of very, very head strong and lived kind of quite close to the edge, you know drank a lot, gambled a lot, did all the rest of it. It’s just a fascinating life I think. |

Completely you know I think its two characters and its what’s fascinating about the relationship is that people that don’t understand each other, you know he doesn’t like seeing emotion, he doesn’t like talking about it and he doesn’t like admitting having them and yet you’ve got this incredibly young very emotional girl who’s kind of bouncing all over the place in such a kind of romantic and idealist and fantasist against this very hard man and you know that dynamic of these two people that are kind of like magnets repelling each other, it was just a really interesting one to explore. |

It is no it’s serious I think I’ve got about 27 different customs like that in the film and they are extraordinary and again she was this fashion icon so the costumes and the hair and everything was very important you know to who she was and also it was kind of like its like armor she sort of presented the person that she wanted to be maybe to the person that she was, actually. Uhm yes they were very uncomfortable big, big heavy wigs, very tight corset’s. (talks) I mean it was at least two and a half, two and half hours a day sort of getting ready, I think that’s a little too excessive. |
