Louise Bremner
I knew from existing material about Jackie (like the documentary A Life in Pictures) that she’d had a difficult start in life, and it really seemed as if there was more there to explore. I’ve always been interested in what you might call “ordinary” women’s lives, but her experiences kind of bridged the ordinary and the exceptional. And also, there were so many mysterious or half-forgotten elements to her story that I was drawn to the process of shining a bit of light into those shadows: everything from exactly what happened to her parents, to the details of her early television career.
