Been drowning in expectations

Albert Camus, from a notebook entry featured in Notebooks (1951-1959)

“There was one day that I will never forget when Ruth Wilson, who we’d cast as Mrs. Coulter, came in to read with Dafne and – I’ve still got the shot of the two of them on the monitor looking like mother and daughter. And the chemistry between them was so extraordinary.” — Jane Tranter, Executive Producer “I was sitting in the waiting room with 20 other girls,” Keen remembers. “I was thinking, oh god, they’re all blond. I don’t physically look like this character, and these girls all do. I went in, shook hands with Ruth, and five minutes later, she looked at me and said, ‘You know, you have the same eyebrows as me.’” — Dafne Keen
