Miriam Margolyes Is Going To Die
MIRIAM MARGOLYES IS GOING TO DIE.
What does planning a Dream Funeral look like for an 82-year-old national treasure (or 'national trinket' as she'd rather be known)? In this extraordinarily broad conversation the actress, writer, and straight shooter unpacks ageing, religion, a complex relationship with her body, losing friends and lovers, and how one should always channel their inner cunt on the appropriate occasions.
MIRIAM MARGOLYES O.B.E. was born in Oxford and read English Literature at Newnham College, Cambridge. She is
still working in drama and documentaries (she is the Mother Superior in CALL THE MIDWIFE). She has a passion for
Charles Dickens, for radio, for Palestine and is highly outspoken on talk shows, for which she is much in demand. She
loves Martha Argerich and Cecilia Bartoli. She is a lesbian, a non-believing Jew and an Arsenal fan. She loathes Trump,
Boris Johnson and Modi. She loves India, food, politics and Italy.
