Emily Watson has revealed she was once “told off” by Dame Angela Lansbury, who questioned how she would be able to bring up her children if she was “never there”.
The two actors were working together on an ITV adaptation of Little Women when Watson was “summoned” to her co-star’s trailer. Watson, who got her big break in Lars Von Trier’s 1996 film Breaking the Waves, played matriarch Marmee March in the 2017 miniseries. Lansbury, who was 92 at the time, starred as the family’s wealthy relative, Aunt March.
