The brilliant British actor Lesley Manville has given us two of the truly great cinematic performances of the last decade, Mary in "Another Year" and Cyril in "Phantom Thread" (which landed her an Oscar Nomination). But those are just two in a long list of living, breathing characters she has inhabited with subtlety, nuance and depth, both on the stage and screen. In this episode, she talks about her latest--Joan in "Ordinary Love," her formative years with Mike Leigh, the necessity of director input, why she doesn't want to take her characters home, and much more!
