'Really? We’re still not being heard?' Lesley Manville urges for more stories about older women to be on screen

Lesley Manville.

Lesley Manville is right to emphasise the importance of older women's stories playing out in the films and TV shows we love - their voices are just as important as any in this space.

Actress Lesley Manville has a lot of important things to say - she's spoken out about the devastation of Gary Oldman leaving her when their son was just three months old, and the strength it took fer her to be a mother and continue carving a career during this time. She's also rightly vocal about the voices of older women playing out on screen, wanting to see more of the likes of Susan Ryeland, her Moonflower Murders and Magpie Murders character, have their stories told on TV.
