MotherFatherSon | Interview with Helen McCrory
Helen McCrory Spills the Beans About Her New TV Character
Helen McCrory plays Kathryn in MotherFatherSon.
Tell us about Kathryn
Kathryn Villiers is a wealthy, educated English woman. Heir to a newspaper which her family has owned for generations – a broadsheet, which prides itself in the quality of its journalism. Her parents are distant and cold, perhaps because that is the way they were brought up; perhaps for another darker reason which she discovers in our story. She is expected to marry well, look after her inheritance and her husband, and continue on in her mother’s footsteps, but she’s rebelled. She becomes a journalist herself and on an assignment falls in love with an American steel magnet, who she can’t help noticing has more than a passing resemblance to Richard Gere!

What’s the Story Helen McCrory?
by Cole Moreton | Event Magazine | February 23, 2019
She stars opposite a legendary Hollywood heart-throb in the ambitious new BBC drama MotherFatherSon, but Helen McCrory was never going to swoon over Richard Gere. ‘I was a naughty girl,’ says the actress with a chuckle, explaining why she didn’t fall for Gere’s clean-cut charms like so many her age – 14 – when his first hit, An Officer And A Gentleman, came out in 1982.
‘I was a Jimi Hendrix girl. I liked my rock ’n’ roll. I liked the naughty boys – Bob Dylan was going to wake me up in a harem in Morocco. So it wasn’t that I didn’t have a crush on him, I didn’t see the films.’ ‘I knew who he was, of course,’ she says. ‘But I had a crush on Adam And The Ants back then. It was all London, it was all street, it was all edgy, it was all the smell of carbon monoxide and marches and DMs.’
Gere plays a very powerful man with deep secrets. Could she challenge Gere? She nods. ‘It was constantly a work in progress. I come from the British tradition, which is all about the script. The word is God. He comes from an American tradition, where you improvise around it. I’ve never worked with anyone like that.’
She does know – and is proud to say – that she was given her part long before her more famous co-star. ‘I was cast six weeks before Gere was! MotherFatherSon: it’s in that order for a reason, as in every family!’
McCrory and Lewis have a son and a daughter, Gulliver and Manon, who are 11 and 12. They live in a Victorian townhouse in north London, having tried Los Angeles for a while before returning home.

Was treated to the first episode of #MotherFatherSon tonight… and all I took was this awkward pic of Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory taking their seats. Anyway, it’s really rather good and Richard Gere is on superb form. It’ll be on in March on BBC2. pic.twitter.com/u5FRUSlkMA
