Brooke Shields

Press clippings

The formidable, funny Emma Thompson joins Ross for a chat tonight, presumably to discuss her work-in-progress Effie. Thompson, who won an Academy Award for her Sense and Sensibility screenplay, has taken up her pen again to bring to life the disastrous marriage of Victorian art critic/thinker John Ruskin and his young bride Effie Gray.

Actress and former child star Brooke Shields also makes herself comfortable on the Ross sofa, along with Mr Saturday Night himself, Paddy McGuinness. Music is provided by Florence and the Machine and Petr Spatina.
