The outspoken 82-year old actress poses with iced buns to preserve her modesty and says she 'wouldn’t be straight for anything'
Controversial Jewish actress Miriam Margolyes is one of three cover stars of British Vogue this July.
She’s well known for her portrayal of Professor Sprout in Harry Potter, as the iconic Queen Victoria in ‘Blackadder” and as Mother Mildred in the BBC One drama, Call The Midwife.
In the fashion bible’s special Pride month issue, Margolyes is described as “Britain’s mischief-maker-in-chief”, a “living embodiment of British eccentricity” and celebrated as a LGBTQ pioneer.
In a wide-ranging interview, she openly discusses her childhood in a Jewish family in Oxford, her sexuality, relationship with partner of 54-years, academic Heather Sutherland and says she is still “a bit of a child” and “can’t resist naughtiness.”
The other two cover stars are singer Rina Sawayama and England footballer Jess Carter
Margolyes spoke to Jewish News in 2021 about her memoir, This Much Is True.
