Kate Winslet insisted that her new film, in which she plays the fearless photojournalist Lee Miller, must have a female director.
The Oscar-winning actor, who is the lead star and co-producer of Lee, released in cinemas this week, wanted to portray American Miller as “a truth-seeker and a truth-teller”. She felt that Miller brought a particular sensitivity when she reported on the battle of Saint-Malo in the second world war, field hospitals in Normandy and the Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps.
