I had this somewhat bizarre but lovely experience meeting Helen McCrory. She was the lead in Deep Blue Sea at the National and was on the northern line on her way in, as was I (going to Temple). I was banging onto a friend about some issue I had in a case, obviously too loud.
On the platform at Embankment up came this tiny woman wearing a tracksuit and baseball cap. “Hello, I’m an actress and couldn’t help overhearing your conversation...”. Turned out she was about to appear in an ITV show playing a human rights lawyer. She very graciously asked if I
would look over the scripts with her and give any tips on accuracy. I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know who she was as I hadn’t seen anything at the time with her in. We met the next day at Fleet St coffee and spent a couple of hours on the script. She was fiercely
intelligent and knowledgable as you might expect. She then invited me and @jrwagz to the last night of her show and we went to the aftershow party... on our anniversary! She was just so nice and down to earth. She seemed interested in the work I was doing
and was obviously a class act. She went on to promote the human rights charity I set up when doing media rounds for the new series. I really liked her - and went on to watch Peaky Blinders and other stuff she was in, including Deep Blue Sea which was just amazing. RIP - too young
