Back To One

Marianne Jean-Baptiste


Listen Later

Marianne Jean-Baptiste is getting accolades and awards for her incredible performance in Mike Leigh’s “Hard Truths.” The two last worked together nearly 30 years ago, on Leigh’s “Secrets and Lies,” for which Jean-Baptiste was nominated for an Oscar. On this episode, she takes us all the way back to her first time working with Mike Leigh, on the play “It’s A Great Big Shame,” and details for us the ins and outs of working with him on these three projects. She talks about her love of process, how this intense character work fuels her on less actor-centric jobs, why she’s still mad at Leigh for “murdering” Pansy’s mother, and much more.

Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.
