In this interview Helena first talks about the role she is playing, then goes on to describe the fact that she is portraying a real person.
“It’s always tricky to play someone who actually lived. It’s your responsibility and you do have to be polite, I think, and respectful ... with the Queen’s Mother, it was quite different – she’s got this very soft, sweet, somewhat vague, you know, gentle exterior, but I think underneath, there’s a whole other personality going on and I wanted to play that duality, really, and that underneath she was very strong and that it was her strength that kept him going”
I believe this will be very effective in discussing her various roles and performances as she talks about the difficulties in portraying a real person and also how she chooses to interpret her role, which helps her get into character for the film.
