Lesley Manville

Lesley Manville

Oscar-nominated actress, Lesley Manville, joins James O'Brien this week for an in-depth look at a career in acting. Since leaving school at 15, Manville has been a regular haunt of the West End - only recently breaking Hollywood. Despite her stardom, she still takes the bus and is now on a campaign against becoming the 'poster girl' for the older female actor. You might know her for playing Margaret Thatcher - but as this podcast-exploration shows, her politics don't quite match the role.
