"Move over Di, Britain has a new leading lady,
Miranda Richardon.
But though Tatler put her on its cover, and The Face
announced "She's arrived," the actress can only
say "Its all hype isn't it?".
Not exactly. Richardson, 27, is gathering rave reviews
for her portrayal of Ruth Ellis, the last woman executed
in Britain, in the film Dance with a Stranger,
which opens here in July.
Richardson is equally blasé about her sultry love scenes
with Rupert Everett, who plays the unfaithful lover Ellis
kills: "I just got through them. He's not really my
type."
The actress, who had been doing theatre outside of London
before landing the lead role in Dance,
had little in common with the high-strung Ellis, but
Richardson says she understands her. "Most people
have experienced obsession in one form or another.
There's an inner turmoil in both of us. But so far, I
haven't shot anyone."
