Kate Winslet on her film Lee
Nikki Bedi speaks to Oscar winning actor Kate Winslet about the film Lee and to bestselling author Rumaan Alam about his new book, Entitlement.
We have two interviews – the first with Oscar-winning actor Kate Winslet and the second with bestselling author Rumaan Alam.
In her new film Lee, Kate Winslet plays the American model turned war photographer Lee Miller. Nikki asks Kate why she wanted to tell the story of Lee’s experiences taking photos for British Vogue from the frontline in World War Two. They discuss her role as a producer and her process in perfecting Lee’s American accent.
Nikki also talks to the American author Rumaan Alam about the inspiration for his latest novel, Entitlement. It focuses on an octogenarian billionaire, Asher Jaffee, and a young black woman, Brooke, employed by his charitable foundation. The book explores money, race, class and privilege.
And there’s music from singer-songwriter Cat Burns.
