How do you find working in the UK rather than Hollywood? It’s nice to be inside the female head, especially, I think, in the characters of the harlots and what they are thinking. Harlots could go in a totally different direction, I think, if it was written by a man.
Harlots is written, produced and directed by women, and stars predominantly women. And that is so tricky for me to relate to as a modern woman. They were told what to do she is very oppressed by her brother.
Liv tyler harlots character how to#
We did a scene the other day where my character didn’t even know how to cut a loaf of bread! She is very intelligent and she can communicate with anyone and can handle herself in any situation but women like her really couldn’t do anything. But I was less interested in her world and more interested in the harlots’ world because I suppose, in a way, I can relate more to their freedom in my own life. I did a lot of research and tried to pay attention and understand because Lady Fitz is very well mannered and well educated and poised and I wanted to know what it would feel like to be a woman of her stature. It’s another side of history that we haven’t seen. Hygiene, probably! Being an American, there were so many things I didn’t know about. What did you find most interesting or most shocking about the Georgian era? I find her to be one of the most talented, sincere, and brave talents. What was the biggest appeal to joining Harlots? It’s probably one of the most exciting and challenging and varied characters that I have played. How would you compare Lady Fitz to other roles you have had? Very different from the world of the harlots. She’s very fancy very wealthy very elegant. We caught up with Liv during the shoot to find out more. Liv plays Lady Isabella Fitzwilliam, a lonely heiress who is being blackmailed by Lydia and is drawn to Margaret’s daughter Charlotte, who has a sense of freedom she envies. Margaret Wells (two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton) struggles to reconcile her roles as brothel owner and mother to daughters Charlotte (Jessica Brown Findlay) and Lucy (Eloise Smyth) – while fighting off Lydia Quigley (Oscar-nominee Lesley Manville), a rival madam with a ruthless streak.
