Acting for Others Presents...

Miriam Margolyes and Sir Derek Jacobi


Listen Later

Our favourite uproarious octogenarians come together for a very entertaining episode, taking in everything from Derek’s late-onset stagefright, Miriam’s first years out of the closet, being mentored by Laurence Olivier, working with Alec Guiness, Harold Pinter’s sizable member, an embarrassing moment involving Boris Karloff’s widow, a tale about Oscar Wilde, being broken by sadistic directors, spending time on location with Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowe, Miriam’s Jewish ancestry and so much more… 

Introduced by Samantha Bond.

Music by Dan Gillespie Sells.
