In Honolulu. In Honolulu. I mean, come on. If anyone's going to do that, bundle's going to do that. Yes, so true. But also a very contemporary character in terms of being this strong, resolute, lively woman who also sets a lot of feckless young men right. Yeah, yeah. My favourite thing about her is that she does that all with...
Ja Chris, sinä puhuit siitä, että hän oli yleisö, yleisön yleisö huudannettavaa mysteeriä. Produktioni on erittäin uskomattomaa aikaan, 1920-luvulta, mutta tunnitko, että se tarvitsi jotain uudistamista? Plotti tarvitsi uudistamista tai pysyminen tarvitsi uudistamista modernissa yleisössä, jotka eivät ehkä ollut useita tämän genrestä?
Haluamme todella tutustua, mitä Netflix-versio Agatha Christiella oli. Haluamme tehdä Agatha Christiella streaming-aikana. Jokainen generaatio tarvitsee Christie-adaptationia. Kun luin The Seven Dials Mysteryin, minulle tuli ensimmäinen järjestelmä. Miksi en tiedä hänet? Hän on semmoinen huolimattomuus, joten tuoda hänet kulttuurin takaisin on melko haastavaa.
Writer Chris Chibnall and actor Mia McKenna Bruce. One of the defining moments of America's civil rights movement came when in 1955 a black woman, Rosa Parks, refused to give up her bus seat to a white person in Alabama. But nine months earlier a teenager, Claudette Colvin, had carried out a similar act of defiance.
She too was arrested for breaking Alabama laws that said a black passenger had to yield their seat if a white person wanted it. But her story remained relatively unknown for decades. Now Colvin, whose actions helped to end racial segregation in the US, has died at the age of 86. Ella Bicknell looks back at her life.
A 15-year-old in Montgomery, Alabama. Segregation pervaded every aspect of Claudette Colvins life. When asked to give up her seat for a white passenger on her school bus, she refused and was dragged off kicking and screaming. She later said it was the inspiration of her abolitionist heroes that compelled her to take a stand. I could not move because history had me glued to the seat.
Claudette Colvin remained involved in activism and later became one of the four plaintiffs in Browder v. Gale, which led to a Supreme Court ruling ending segregation on public transport. Colvin was branded a troublemaker by many in her community, dropping out of school and later moving to New York, where she worked in a nursing home.
Claudette Colvin said history only had room for so many icons, but in recent years her contributions have become more recognised. A 2009 biography titled Claudette Colvin Twice Towards Justice won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, and a Hollywood biopic is in the works, directed by Marvel actor Anthony Mackie.
