Welcome to Episode 9 of Don’t Know Her? and this week we are talking about the Irish goddess that is Fiona Shaw. Fiona will be a familiar face to a wide array of cinemagoers thanks to her eclectic filmography. She will be known to a great many for her performance as Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter films whilst others will recall her memorable turns in Irish favourites such as My Left Foot and The Butcher Boy. Of course, her TV work in Killing Eve and Fleabag are a consistent reminder of this

Welcome along for episode eight of Don’t Know Her. This time round we are changing things up a little to chat about Dads on film as we celebrate Father’s Day. For the episode we selected four films with Father characters we are particularly fond of, namely: Gary Lewis in Billy Elliot, Rawiri Paratene in Whale Rider, Tracy Letts in Lady Bird and Colman Domingo in If Beale Street Could Talk. We also spoke about some of our other favourite movie Dads and perhaps what kind of stories we’d want for

2021/06/03

It’s episode seven and this week we discuss screen legend Candice Bergen. Bergen will be most recognisable to many as the titular lead in the long-running TV comedy Murphy Brown, however she has also cast a striking presence on the big screen surrounding her time on that show. We talk about her memorable turn as a Kathy Morningside in Miss Congeniality and as photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White in Best Picture Oscar-winning Gandhi from 1982. With Candice delivering career highlight performances in

Kathy Burke | Episode 6

2021/05/20

This week we talk about Kathy Burke and her unique screen presence. You may know Kathy from her celebrated comedic work on British television (Absolutely Fabulous, Gimme Gimme Gimme) but we wish her award-winning film work was more seen and/or appreciated. Whether she’s playing a queen (Elizabeth), a teenage boy (Kevin and Perry Go Large) or a long-suffering neighbour (Anita and Me), Kathy always makes an impression...perhaps only as Kathy could do! Join us as we reflect on her filmography, why

We revisit his most iconic film performances from The Birdcage to his voicing of Timon in The Lion King, whilst also dipping in to discuss his work in some of the more overlooked entries in his filmography.

It’s episode number four and this week we gush about one of our greatest living actors, the sublime Alfre Woodard. We mull over a few of her career highlights like Clemency and Passion Fish whilst hopefully drawing attention to some other under seen gems along the way. We want EVERYTHING for Alfre, but please join us as we make our pleas to the Gods of Cinema for what roles we would die to see her get in the hopefully not-too-distant future.

Joan Cusack | Episode 2

2021/04/22

It's episode number two and this week we are chatting about the delightful Joan Cusack, known for many generation-defining classics from Working Girl to Addams Family Values, or even Jessie the Yodelling Cowgirl from Toy Story 2 onwards. Joan is an undoubtedly distinctive face and voice in cinema, but she is also someone who we think should have been showered with far more great roles than she has been given to date. So please join us as we take a deep dive into what has delighted us in Joan's

Celia Imrie | Episode 1

Don"t Know Her? ·

2021/04/12

In our first ever episode, we talk about the one and only Celia Imrie. Imrie is best known in film for her supporting roles in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (and sequel), Bridget Jones's Diary (and sequels) and Calendar Girls (sadly no sequel) but we want more for this British icon. Listen as we reflect on why we love Celia, her cinematic highlights and ponder what roles we'd like her to take on in the future...
