Amy Manson in The White Princess TV Series, 2017.
Appearing on Zoom from her home in North London Amy Manson appears to be the antithesis of the serial killer she plays in The Nevers, launching in the UK on Sky and Now TV this month [17th].
Smiling, in a pink sweatshirt bearing the words Property of the Hotel Chelsea (she’s been reading Patti Smith’s Just Kids), Manson stars as one of the leads in the eagerly anticipated HBO sci-fi series, and has also been working on Spencer opposite Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, directed by cult Chilean (Jackie) director Pablo Larrain. Also due for release is the pre-covid She Will, a film set around Aviemore in Manson’s native Scotland.
Submitting.
“Her methods are madness but I don t think she s mad. I think she is on this kind of pilgrimage to tear down the patriarchy and hold a mirror up to society and to people who abused her. She is intent on revenge and will do anything to succeed in her mission.”
“The abuse she underwent within the asylum turned her into a different human being from the woman who didn’t have a say. She discovered her power was pain and the more she had inflicted on her, the greater her power and she evolved into this almost manic woman.”
