Author and long-distance walker Raynor Winn was in her garden when she received a phone call to say Gillian Anderson would be playing her in the adaptation of her bestselling memoir, The Salt Path.
“For a moment, I was just thinking, wow, how can that be? She's so gorgeous, so glamorous. How could she possibly play me at my rawest? But when it came to meet her on set, I realised she had absolutely thrown herself into the role and scruffed up quite well. She’s done a fantastic job of expressing the most difficult moment in my life,” Raynor, now 63, tells me.
