“I have no interest in just playing women who wear nice clothes,” says Lesley Manville. “I’ve done plenty of stuff where I do – Phantom Thread, lovely costumes; in Magpie Murders I’m playing somebody who is sassy and likes her clothes, but I’m not looking to do that exclusively because that would be unrealistic and limiting. I’m happy to take my makeup off and be seen, warts and all, as it were.” Order your copy of AMAZING issue 2 at theamazingmagazine.com now for Lesley’s full interview and shoot.
