When Cate Blanchett started out as an actress, she found it hard to get work. In the words of the Academy Award winner, she “couldn’t get arrested”, instead only finding employment by helping out at auditions. “When I first came out of drama school, I didn’t work like a lot of my counterparts. But someone who ran one of the biggest casting agencies took a shine to me and asked me to come in and be a reader opposite people who were auditioning,” she recalls. “I couldn’t get arrested as an actor. And I was weird-looking; no one knew what to do with me. So, I would go in three or four times a week and spend three or four hours reading.” The Australian-born star’s luck soon changed and she…

It is one of the most eagerly anticipated TV shows of the autumn: the adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s popular book Rivals. And although fans will be excited about watching the shenanigans of characters such as Rupert Campbell-Black and Lizzie Vereker as they rampage through the fictional Rutshire countryside, the author says her favourite member of the cast was actually a dog: Gertrude, the pet pooch of Taggie O’Hara (played by Bella Maclean). “She is adorable, with a lovely owner, and was patted by everyone on set,” Dame Jilly recalls. “She is far more beautiful than Gertrude in the book, who is a tight-skinned mongrel with a very curly tail. “Rupert enrages Taggie when they meet, telling her to: ‘Take that ugly brute back to its pigsty.’ The TV Gertrude…

Kit Harington’s fans fell in love with him as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, the critically acclaimed fantasy drama in which he starred for eight years.
