Astounding vol. 47, no. 3 (May 1951)
This composition is so terrible it barely deserves the name. It's just four things chucked down on paper. I love the slide rule though. I actually own one although I can barely use it to do 2 + 2.

When you spend seven months of the year on a film set, the last thing you want to watch is something that takes place on a film set. I find it hard to suspend my disbelief so I’m not a binge watcher of anything, which is rather unfortunate for my wife.</p><p><strong>Because she wants to watch Game of Thrones?</strong></p><p>I’ve never seen <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/game-of-thrones-movie-aegon-targaryen-hbo-development-newsupdate/">Game of Thrones</a>. We haven’t even seen <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/adolescence-netflix-review/">Adolescence</a> either. The greatest drama for me is in real life.</p><p><strong>What’s so special about sport?</strong></p><p>Nothing ever brings me to tears, or close to tears, like sport does. I think it’s the immediacy of it, and that the jeopardy is real. I’m all about the underdog, too, and you really get that David and Goliath thing going on in sport.</p><p><strong>Which documentaries do you like?</strong></p><p>Anything that’s “man against the elements”. Free Solo is an amazing film about Alex Honnold, who climbed El Capitan in Yosemite [3,000ft] without ropes or protective gear. In January, he climbed the Taipei 101 [1,667ft] in Taiwan on Skyscraper Live on Netflix.

How did that make you feel?</strong></p><p>I let that go a long time ago. It was devastating as a young girl to be judged on my exterior rather than the work I was doing. But, you know, life went on!</p><p><strong>Your first acting job was with Dennis Hopper on the 2002 film The Piano Player. Did he give you any advice?</strong></p><p>Dennis taught me everything – I’d never been in front of the camera before, and he was incredibly kind. I also acted with Ed Harris [in Copying Beethoven] and he taught me that you have to stick to your guns and defend your character. I was young – I didn’t want to get fired. I also worked with Brad Pitt on Troy and on Inglourious Basterds, when I at least had some experience!
