Helen Mirren talks about her new film, The Good Liar, and equal pay, personal stories from our listeners about abortion, and Samantha Power, former US ambassador to the UN.Helen Mirren talks about equal pay and her new film, The Good Liar, in which she co-stars with Sir Ian McKellen.
In a new series, listeners talk about their experiences of abortion. Today it is a woman we are calling Clare who got pregnant in the 1980s in rural Scotland just before her 18th birthday. Samantha Power was President Obama's ambassador in the UN between 2013 and 2017. A Pulitzer Prize winner, her latest book is a memoir, The Education of An Idealist.
My daughter had an abortion for reasons like Clare's. She told me but wanted no-one else to know. I helped her through, and respected her silence. But I'm disturbed it's still a secret, taboo to discuss, instead of an openly acknowledged part of her life.
are you going to show the man's side to this very personal choice?
Very moving testimony...different times for sure but the emotions linger
Excellent interview given here. Very honest, frank discussion of the issues around abortion. Broadcasting at it's best.
The real silence is around allowing men equal parental opt-out,.
Wow - a superb programme today! This particular account was very moving; well done, ‘Clare’ for sharing your story. Xx
How do you think men who paid the Licence Fee feel? EnjoyYourPrivilege
Clare you are amazing. I’ve stopped my car to listen to you eloquently describe you extraordinary journey.
Thank you, Helen Mirren.
Despite perceptions that young men are majority cinemagoers, 52% now are actually female: & female-led films perform better pro rata: women
Lovely to hear Helen Mirren talking sense about crafts and skills being undervalued. Thank you! Great show.
comparing the amount paid between ian mckellen and helen mirren whilst completely ignoring the role of the agent and the weight of the role in the film/play imagining that the mega money (lets not forget) is centrally planned and not individually negotiated
