Kristin Scott Thomas: "I am who I am because of those events. And I think had those events not happened I might not even be an actress." Tragedy, Prince and typecasting.
In this episode of The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points, Lulu chats to award winning actress Kristin Scott Thomas. Kristin speaks to Lulu about the big turning points in her life - how losing her father and her step-father as a child made her the actress she is today; meeting and working with the genius that was Prince; and how she learnt to say no. She talks about receiving the best and worst reviews of her life within a matter of months; how she refuses to play the mean older woman; how having a successful career, relationship and family life meant that people were desperate for her to fail; and the freedom she has now found in her acting.
