The crème de la crème the British acting world were celebrating Tom Stoppard’s 80th birthday over the weekend.

And arriving at the lavish bash at the Physic Garden in Chelsea were Damian Lewis and his wife Helen McCrory, who were bringing their young children Manon, 10, and Gulliver, nine, along for the evening.

The artsy family were in high spirits as they prepared to celebrate the legendary playwright and screenwriter’s landmark year. Damian was keeping things casual in a bright orange patterned shirt set off with a cream coloured cap. Helen opted for a clashing palette of pinks and red, topping off her vibrant look thanks to a gingham sunhat.

Human Rights Lawyer: Fearless

by The Newsroom | The Scotsman | June 24, 2017

Fake news, post-truth, a world where there are no facts, only interpretations, if ever the time was right for a character like Helen McCrory’s human rights lawyer in ITV’s six part legal thriller, Fearless, it’s now.

Emma Banville believes in truth and the ability of the British legal system to uphold it, but not without a fight, and the tenacious lawyer is up for that fight. Known as a champion of lost causes, she sets out to prove the innocence of a convicted killer, who has served 14 years in jail for the murder of a schoolgirl, amid a backdrop of official conspiracies and cover-ups.

“Emma is a hunter for the truth, fearless and brave. She believes in Britain’s legal system and that it will strive for a just and fairer society, and that nothing is above the law,” says McCrory over the phone from the Fearless press junket.

Helen McCrory on Fearless: ‘The first time I read the script, I couldn’t put it down’

by Charlotte Williamson | Woman and Home | June 13, 2017

For Woman & Home’s May cover shoot, Helen McCrory enters the w&h studio in a head-turning outfit of top-to-toe tartan. It’s a sartorial homage to her Glaswegian father who’s staying with her, a mix of “Vivienne Westwood and Topshop; punk-rock Scottish.”

She’s been up since 6am managing the kids and walking the dog, but you’d never guess. A veritable ball of energy, Helen can’t wait to see the clothes rail as, she explains, “I have three premieres coming up and might find something for the red carpet.” This is an actress in demand.

Mistaking her OBE for a parking ticket and how husband Damian Lewis convinced her to join her new ITV drama

by Elizabeth Day | June 12, 2017 | Radio Times

Helen McCrory arrives in the north London pub where we have agreed to meet wearing checked trousers and a peaked flat cap to keep the sun off her face. She speaks rapidly as if struggling to match the pace of her own thoughts. The whole impression is that of an energetic Victorian chimney sweep or an extra from Oliver Twist.At first, I don’t even recognise her. But then, she has always been a chameleon, an actress capable of feats of transformation. At 48, her CV is testament to her range: she was Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, Medea on stage and is about to reprise her role as Aunt Polly in Peaky Blinders (the cap she’s wearing was actually borrowed from the set).

Her latest incarnation is as the lead in ITV’s new political thriller, Fearless, scripted by Homeland writer Patrick Harbinson. McCrory plays Emma Banville, a campaigning lawyer who fights to free a man she believes was wrongfully convicted of killing a schoolgirl.
