Exclusive: Claire Foy, who won two Emmys when she went up Garland Like Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, no one – no sympathy – is Margaret Campbell’s Duchess Argil, the public beauty she plays as born in the BBC1 / Amazon Prime miniseries. A very British scandal. The series picks up on the scandalous 1963 socialist divorce case of his wife, Ian Campbell, the 11th Duke of Argyll, played by Paul Bethany as something of an aristocrat.
Wrongly, otherwise, Margaret was nicknamed the Duchess of Perversion. The case was the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial at the time, with calls, it really suits her for her notoriety. fascinating to watch A very British scandal Second, with the absurdity of the Herd-Depp trial.
I was looking around the Duchess and on the stage of a London nightclub in the 80s. At the time he was at the top looking for food on the sofas and party buffets, which many of us did. I’m sorry for him
Foy agrees that, from the outside, Margaret’s later life seemed “rather creepy and heartbreaking”. He divorced his family and died penniless in 1993 at the age of 80.
However, the Duchess de Foy has no patience. “I think it’s very easy to say ‘Oh, I’m sorry for you’ and sympathize with someone who doesn’t want it at all.”
He says the Duchess was a model. She had little respect for others “and she did a lot of damage and a lot of harm, she was very naive, very childish. She didn’t do it to offend people, she was naive, and when you look at him that way, you end up sympathizing with him and say, “Oh, bless him.” “He doesn’t really know how to have a normal relationship or be an adult in the world,” Foy said, with mild disgust.
It took him some time to please the Duchess, even a little. “The main thing was her privilege and also her hatred of other women,” she says, gritting her teeth. “I was Margaret! I go there … I try.
Foy mellowes and admits that despite all the advantages as a rookie daughter of the textile millionaire, Margaret hasn’t always had an easy life. Her relationship with her mother was strained and she “has had many abortions, many near-death cases, oh, she has been through the war. Foy remembers a moment in the drama where the Duchess says she is going to buy a baby and her fulfillment has already begun. “Because I could buy everything,” she says with a smile.
Her voice changes to an arrogant tone and she looks eerily like a duchess. “There must be people who need money … and if they have a child, why not sell it!”
Foyer is back, he sighs. “Oh dear sir. “You have no idea how life works or what it’s like to be someone who can’t afford to go shopping for mink.”
The Argil divorce case replaced Britain in the 1960s. There was a photo of a so-called headless naked man for whom the Duchess was also naked, except for a marked pearl necklace. Oh, how he kissed the masses. The president, Lord Whitley, called her a “rude form of sexual intercourse” and expelled her with a 65,000-word summary, which stated that the evidence showed that she was “a completely depraved woman whose sexual appetite would be was satisfied by only a few men. ”The duke believed., that his wife had a single relationship with 88 chapters.
“She wasn’t a model, but who is she?” Foy asks.
However, the Duchess was not tried for having sex with many men, as the judge and the public at the time probably wanted, says Foy.
Foy notes that he has listened to a BBC podcast Unreal: A Critical History of Television Reality For Pandora Sykes and Sirin Kelle, who say the days of gladiator cruelty are like those of Simon Cowell, X Factor– There are no more judges of the type of attack on vulnerable people on television. It has been changed into shows where people seem to be nice to each other.
“I think that’s true,” Foy said. “But I also think there is so much hatred, pent-up anger and similar judgments. I think we always see it clearly ეს This level of judgment still exists, they just do it differently and other people than maybe judges.
I’m commenting on how UK neighbors gathered at the garden fence in the 1960s to catch up on the scandal of the day. It’s social media already, says Foy. “Social media is a billion people exploring the garden fence,” he said, apparently surprised.
The social media scene is not for him, thanks, however, he appreciates him for the “incredibly famous people” on social media. It eliminates the middleman and is a means of direct conversation with people. “I don’t know, because I’m not aware of it,” she repeated.
If it were, you would go online: “This is not true and it is not!”
“It would be terrible. I know this is perfect for business and everything in between; All good things are great, but bad things outweigh them for me. “And I think at some point we will have a medical consultation on that,” she said.
He raises his hands and admits that he really misses not being active on Twitter and all. “I miss it so much, because I’m not in this business! As words now used daily, or as entire social movements, I step aside as happens in the virtual world. “
Wordle is a word you’ve heard of, but you have no idea what it is.
I asked him for his opinion on fame and mentioned the answer to Meryl Streep when I asked her the same question a long time ago. “Let’s all go to the bathroom,” Streep said.
“I think I really denied that I didn’t know it was recognizable to some people, but most could give two things. They do not. “There’s a real difference between Tom Cruise and the rest,” he said, unable to contain his laughter.
He doesn’t take any of them seriously. However, I insist on knowing the moment he found out he was famous. Was he the first to go to the Golden Globes in 2017 amid a big hype? Garland, in which she played Her Majesty in the first two seasons of Queen Elizabeth Shaw? “It was like living in another world,” she recalled during a Hollywood globe ceremony.
“I was in Los Angeles, it’s a different world, and I was on a plane, it was embarrassing,” he said. “Suddenly I was in a world that you had been observing from the outside for a long time, and suddenly you found yourself in the middle of it, as if you were living in a real game. It was really hard to take your head. And a little bit scared, so it was weird. “
There are many reasons why you might be taking on an actor role. He could be a director; Screenplay, other actors, cameramen. “There is another reason, which is money. “You do it because you need the money,” she said. “You are very lucky if you are an actor, very lucky when you don’t have to do things right now, and I think that’s something you always have to remember because it’s a very privileged position. When I started, I literally did everything. The idea of being able to make money acting was crazy for me. There has always been fear, real fear, I’m done, but what happens next?
Foy’s first roles were on stage and he supplemented his stage income with all sorts of part-time jobs, starting with work in a hatbox and ending with a call center that had to disperse currency calculators. “I’ve done everything, I think, except in the medical profession,” she said.
We are in finance, which is why I express the agitation that broke out when it was discovered that they paid less than him. Garland By Matt Smith, who played Prince Philip, the Queen’s husband.
It was a painful upbringing for him, he says. “For a long time I doubted all the work I did” that he did not enjoy equal pay.
“I think most actresses do the same thing. It is a situation where you are very grateful for the job but at some point you notice a bias … you know that equal pay is not happening and it is very painful to think about it, it is very painful because you do not want to think about what others think of yours value; Because it’s embarrassing, right? To show you that someone is saying that you are not as good as someone else, or that you are not useful to us, “explains Foy.
Something good has come out of that painful time, he says. “I talked to my agents about it and what came out was wage transparency. You know these numbers need to be considered. They haven’t been around for long. I think there is a lot more transparency right now, which I think is great for the industry. I talked to a lot of women who told me they doubled my salary and things like that. “It’s really good,” she added.
Foy says it “feels like the dial has really changed” in terms of opportunities for women and people from different backgrounds. “You can’t get equal pay if you can’t,” she said.
he believes this A very British scandal It would have lacked authenticity had it not been written by a woman, Sarah Phelps, and directed by a woman, Anne Sevicki.
He worked on many projects that had male directors. “This isn’t a man and woman thing at all, he’s an actor-director, and I think conversation is necessary and I love them.”
Foy will appear in a film adaptation of Sarah Polen’s 2018 novel Miriam Toues women talk Along with Jesse Buckley, Francis McDormand, Rooney Mara and Ben Wishow, the latter plays one of the few blocks on it.
He says he is proud of the film developing in the Mennonite religious community. “I play an angry woman, which was wonderful. “She doesn’t really have hell to be angry, irritated as a woman.”
he is also on board doomsday machine, a limited series on Facebook in which she plays Sheryl Sandberg, leaving Facebook as COO. “This is very pre-production,” says Foy.
Yes, you’ve seen the Queen’s tea and jam sandwiches with Paddington Bear in the now famous two-minute film shot by BBC Studios and Heyday Films / Studiocanal to celebrate the monarch’s platinum anniversary.
“He’s very cute. I love Paddington.” Ben Wishow, as Paddington, will bring me so much joy and happiness, “he said.
The film, he says, “somehow fuses something British: the sensibility of a bygone era, I think, where a joke can be sweet nonsense instead of something disgusting, I don’t know, you know.”
Good for her (Regina). Good for him. “
