Candid and straight-talking, Miriam Margolyes doesn't spare the gory details when it comes to her personal life.
Whether it's graphic retellings of her early sex-capades or disappointments with her body, each episode in her rollercoaster-like life is retold with frankness and wicked humour.
From her turn in the Harry Potter franchise as Professor Sprout, to her scene-stealing role as the nurse in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, the acting veteran has been a staple on our screens for more than six decades. And now, at the age of 82, she's not only still working, she's busier than ever! Case in point - despite proclaiming that her 2021 autobiography, This Much Is True, would be her first and only book, the star laughs as she tells Woman's Day "that turned out to be a lie".
"It sold so well, which I never expected, so the publisher said, 'If you write another book we'll pay you a huge amount of money,' and I said, "Alright!""
