Miriam Margolyes | E55 | The Age of Innocence, Harry Potter, Romeo + Juliet, Ladies in Lavender, Babe, James and the Giant Peach...

Join us to celebrate a truly one-of-a-kind performer, the legend that is Miriam Margolyes. Miriam is now known to many for her candidTV moments, regaling us all with her wildly memorable anecdotes. So for our pride celebration we couldn’t resist dipping into the film catalogue of this queer icon. To a generation of us she will have first captured our attention as Professor Sprout in Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets (Chris Columbus, 2002) and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 (David Yates, 2011). To others it will have been as The a nurse in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet (1996) or Mrs. Mingott in Martin Scorsese’s The Age Of Innocence (1993). We loved talking about these films alongside Ladies In Lavender (Charles Dance, 2004) and Little Dorrit (Christine Edzard, 1987). It was a pleasure to reflect on this fun collection of film goodies and what makes Miriam so endlessly watchable. We also think about some roles we’d love to see her tackle in the future.
