'Andor's' Elizabeth Dulau on Kleya's 'heartbreaking' moment with Luthen
This story contains spoilers for 'Andor' Season 2, including Episodes 10 through 12. When Elizabeth Dulau first heard what showrunner Tony Gilroy had planned for her character in Season 2 of 'Andor,' she burst out laughing. 'I just couldn't believe what he was saying,' says the actor, who portrays the aloof and steadfast rebel spy Kleya Marki in the 'Star Wars' series. 'And then my first thought was: I need to keep this a secret now for years. How on Earth am I going to do that?' Kleya plays a pivotal role in the final three-episode arc of 'Andor.' After Imperial intelligence officers finally uncover Luthen Rael's (Stellan Skarsgård) ties to the Rebellion, the antiques dealer attempts to kill himself before he can be captured and interrogated. When Luthen fails, it's left to Kleya to tie up his final loose end and then deliver vital information to the rebels on Yavin. Read more: 'Star Wars' has always been a family saga. For 'Andor,' Tony Gilroy tapped his brothers Dulau, who didn't even know if she would be called back for Season 2, learned of Kleya's storyline in 2023 when Gilroy called to tell her he wanted her to return. 'I'm glad he told me then because it gave me a long time to really ponder how to prepare for that scene,' Dulau says. 'He said, 'We want her to be the one that kills him, and we want it to be additionally heartbreaking because she doesn't have time to say goodbye.'' 'Andor's' final episodes sees Kleya utilize the skills she'd honed as Luthen's closest and most trusted associate as she infiltrates a heavily guarded hospital to reach him. But rather than breaking Luthen out to save him, Kleya's only option is to unplug him from the machines that are keeping him alive. Then, she has to make sure the information Luthen died for is delivered to the Rebellion. 'We do not have a bad moment of film of her in our cutting room,' says Gilroy, comparing Dulau to Meryl Streep. 'She's unbelievable.' 'Andor' marks Dulau's first acting job after graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. While the audition came to her as a role in an 'untitled Disney+ project,' she'd heard on the down-low that it was for a 'Star Wars' project. She has since been cast in shows including 'All the Light We Cannot See,' 'Gentleman Jack' and the upcoming 'House of Guinness.' 'The beautiful thing about Kleya in Season 1 is that she's such a mystery,' Dulau says. 'You can tell that she's important, but she's sort of on the peripheries. There's so many question marks, so it's such a delight that a lot of those questions get answered this season.' That Kleya ultimately plays a role in helping the Rebel Alliance get the Death Star plans needed for them to eventually defeat the Empire also 'boggles my mind,' she says. 'It's not lost on me that Tony has literally written me into Star Wars history with that storyline,' Dulau says. 'That blows my mind because it's so iconic and I have a teeny, tiny little corner of that now.' Dulau, in a conversation edited for length and clarity, discusses Kleya and Luthen's relationship, her character's commitment to the Rebellion and working with Stellan Skarsgård. Read more: Genevieve O'Reilly on Mon Mothma's pivotal 'Andor' speech: 'Her only weapon is her voice' There is so much that happens in Episode 10, but how did you approach that final moment where Kleya has to unplug Luthen from life support? Tony made it very clear to me that he didn't want her to totally break down in that scene. That breakdown, for Kleya, comes afterward because she's still in action mode. In that scene, I really wanted to connect with all the love that had grown between her and Luthen, against both of their better judgment, but also all the hate. When Luthen and whatever team of men came to the community she lived in and destroyed them when he worked for the Empire, Kleya was not so young. She would remember her mom and dad. She would remember if she had siblings, any best friends. Luthen is not innocent on that day. He was brave enough to save Kleya, but we don't know what happens outside of his ship. Then they spend the next 15 years protecting each other and continuing to save each other. So against their better judgment, love grows between them. I think they're constantly being pulled apart by that. It's too scary to acknowledge the fact that they've come to really care for each other because this awful thing is there. I wanted to try to condense that and make it as clear as possible in that scene when I go to kill him. I spent a lot of time leading up to shooting on that day daydreaming. I use daydreaming a lot in my process. And I daydreamed about that day — what happened, what Kleya saw and what she did not see when Luther and his men came to destroy her people. I daydreamed completely made-up scenes in my head, like the day when Luthen made Kleya laugh for the very first time, or happy memories between them. I imagined that those actual flashback scenes were memories of hers that just were intrusive thoughts as she was trying to focus on her mission. What was your initial take on Kleya and Luthen's dynamic? In Season 1, what really fascinated me was that he sets a lot of importance to Kleya's words. He really listens to her and trusts her and allows himself to be seen by her in a way that he doesn't let himself be seen by anyone else. So what's the power dynamic? It's not the classic father-daughter thing. It's not like he's the boss and she's just the assistant. There's a real equality, and that's quite rare, I think, to see between an older man and a younger woman. I was just fascinated by that and had a lot of fun in Season 1 trying to square up to Stellan Skarsgård and tell him what to do. That was intimidating, but really fun. Then when I found out their backstory, so much about Kleya made sense. It just really broke my heart. In another life, Luthen would have just been this antiques nerd. In hardening himself to what he has to do, he also hardens this young girl, Kleya. It helped me realize that underneath all that hard exterior, at the very core of who Kleya is, actually is something extremely tender and extremely loving. That's why she is so tough on the outside because there's something very painful that she's protecting deep down. She doesn't let herself have any friends or fall in love or any of that. She makes herself as lethal a weapon as possible. But against her best judgment, love grows for Luthen, care grows between them, and all of that is what they have to lose. But neither of them are ever willing to admit that. So much of 'Andor' is about the sacrifice everybody makes. But for Kleya, we see that her sacrifice has been ongoing. Yes. 'I don't have lately, I have always,' she says. She has stripped her life of anything that makes her vulnerable. Joy and love and friendship are some of the the most worthwhile things that a human being can have in their life, but it also makes you vulnerable, in a way. And Kleya just cannot afford to be vulnerable. She tells herself, "I have nothing to lose. Everything is for the Rebellion." [But] she's lying to herself. She doesn't really know until Episode 10 that, actually, Luthen is the thing that she has to lose. And she's willing to do it. She's willing to sacrifice. It seems like the closest Kleya has to a frenemy of sorts is Vel, but how do you see their dynamic? Vel really gets under her skin. Even though Vel is such a tough character as well, she has those relationships. She allows herself to have that relationship with Mon Mothma, her cousin, and with Cinta. She allows herself to fall in love and Kleya just cannot wrap her head around it. How could you let yourself be this vulnerable? But also, maybe for Kleya, there's a bit of jealousy there as well that Vel has those things. How did you see Kleya's trip to Yavin and seeing what she and Luthen had been working for? Because things aren't quite over for her yet. I always thought she sees it as her final job, getting the information about the Death Star to Cassian and just getting that information to Yavin. Because you see Cassian have to convince her to come with him to Yavin. She doesn't want to go there. I don't know how much she feels she has left to give at that point. She is overwhelmed by grief for Luthen and that grief makes her realize just how much actually she's come to love him. So she's in this place of this immensely painful realization about the man who did this awful thing and wiped out her people. How does anyone reckon with that? That's the space that she's in when she's trying desperately to convince Cassian to go without her to Yavin. Then, once she's on Yavin and she sees Vel, that tiny little conversation with her, as short as it was, it's monumental for Kleya because it helps shift her perspective enough that she maybe starts to see a future for herself there amongst that community. That final shot actually is her looking at the people of Yavin doing their morning routines and seeing the culmination of all of her and Luthen's work for all those years. I think it's a feeling of immense satisfaction and sadness that they pulled it off, but also that he'll never see it. What was it like working with Stellan Skarsgård? My final audition actually was with Stellan. I remember my agent calling me to say, "Your recall went well. The note is, for your final audition, just try not to be too nervous. Walk into that room like you've been doing this for years." Then she said, "Your final audition is going to be at Pinewood Studios. You're going to be reading opposite Stellan Skarsgård. But don't let that make you nervous." And I just burst out laughing. Like, this isn't real. This isn't happening. He met with me for coffee 10 minutes before the audition because it was a chemistry read and he wanted to not do it cold. Stellan has this wonderful magic to him that after 10 minutes of chatting with him for the first time ever, I really felt like I was walking into the room with a friend and that I had someone in my corner that was rooting for me. Stellan has had such a long and rich career, so I don't know what this job is for him, but this is such a huge job for me and Stellan has been such a huge part of that. I always looked forward to having another scene with Stellan. It was like going home again, having another scene with him, because he was my anchor throughout the whole thing. He knew that it was my first job, so I could ask him all the questions about what was happening, acting techniques for screen, all of that stuff. I could have those conversations with him and he was always so willing to talk about it. He really took me under his wings big time and I will always be so grateful to him for that.

Joanna Lumley's telling response when asked about plans to retire from acting
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Dame Joanna Lumley, a stalwart of the TV and film industry with a career spanning several decades, shows no signs of slowing down as she nears her 80th birthday. Known for her femme-fatale roles, comedic timing, and stage performances, the actress continues to captivate audiences. Born in India in 1946 during the British Raj, Lumley moved to the UK as a young girl and attended boarding school. Despite an initial rejection from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she found her way into the acting world. Her first significant role was a brief appearance as a Bond girl in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. She then secured roles in popular TV shows like Coronation Street, Steptoe and Son, and Are You Being Served?, before landing her breakthrough role as Purdey in The New Avengers. READ MORE -BGT viewers all say the same thing as live show is halted twice READ MORE - John Higgins shows true colours as snooker star aims dig at Ally McCoist in BBC chat Speaking at the SANDS International Film Festival of St Andrews on April 26, the iconic star expressed her determination to continue working in the industry, reports the Mirror. "I'll be here when I'm 90 - as long as I can speak. When I was 16 and told the careers officer at my convent school that I wanted to go into acting, he told me that the only jobs open to me in film would be as a continuity or makeup girl," she shared, as reported by the Daily Mail. (Image: Getty Images) (Image: Getty Images) (Image: Getty Images for University of S) Joanna, who has previously voiced her thoughts on what she would 'ban' for teenagers, commented: "In the past women like me would have been sidelined at 38 but now there are lead parts for people in their 50s and big parts for those in their 70s." Despite now being a celebrated name, the star of Amandaland opened up about the difficulties she faced on her journey to fame, especially as a young single mum at the tender age of 21. "I've been skint – I had no money, and we lived off Marmite sandwiches for months, and I burnt furniture to keep us warm," she recalled, adding: "But having a son to look after gave me such motivation to work, and it wasn't so bad – it made me tough, and I learnt resilience." She's just landed a fabulous new role in the Netflix sensation Wednesday, where she'll portray Hester Frump, the protagonist's grandmother. As well as being excited about the wigs and makeup for her spooky role, Joanna shared insights into her true character away from the camera glare. With a history that took her from modelling to stardom, Joanna learned early the art of budgeting and quick thinking, often doing her own styling from head to toe in her formative years. Now, travelling the globe as a sought-after actress, Joanna – a longstanding vegetarian – is known for having just one modest requirement on set, in stark contrast to the stereotypical demands of the Hollywood elite. She shared: "The only thing I put on my rider when travelling is that I don't eat meat or fish in case I get an upset tummy," and added: "So if I am presented with meat when I visit somewhere I just say, 'Oh it is against my religion.'".

Dame Joanna Lumley's brutal response as she opens up about retirement
Joanna Lumley is one of the most iconic and loved actresses of the past few decades, and revealed when she plans to step back from the spotlight while looking back on her journey to stardom Dame Joanna Lumley is one of the greats of TV and film, with a career spanning decades. The actress is known as a femme-fatale as well as being a comedian and stage thespian, and even as she approaches 80 she has no plans of stopping yet. The beloved model was born in 1946 in India back when it was under British control, but moved back to the UK as a young girl and went straight to boarding school. Shockingly, she was turned down by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but soon found her way into acting regardless. Her first big role was a few lines as a Bond girl in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but she soon found plenty of work in popular TV shows such as Coronation Street, Steptoe and Son, and Are You Being Served?, before finding her breakout role as Purdey in The New Avengers. The iconic star spoke at the SANDS International Film Festival of St Andrews in Scotland on April 26, and said that despite having made a huge mark on the industry she's by no means ready to hang her hat up yet. 'I'll be here when I'm 90 - as long as I can speak. When I was 16 and told the careers officer at my convent school that I wanted to go into acting, he told me that the only jobs open to me in film would be as a continuity or make-up girl,' she said, according to the Daily Mail. Joanna - who recently shared what she'd 'ban' among teens, added: 'In the past women like me would have been sidelined at 38 but now there are lead parts for people in their 50s and big parts for those in their 70s.' While the Amandaland star is a huge success, she also spoke about the struggles she's been through to get to this point - particularly after becoming a single mum aged just 21. 'I've been skint – I had no money, and we lived off Marmite sandwiches for months, and I burnt furniture to keep us warm,' she said, adding: 'But having a son to look after gave me such motivation to work, and it wasn't so bad – it made me tough, and I learnt resilience.' The star has just secured her next major role in the Netflix hit show Wednesday, playing the main character's grandmother Hester Frump. Alongside gushing over all the fun wigs she gets to play as the creepy character, Joanna also described what she's truly like behind the scenes. The star explained that starting out as a model taught her to be thrifty and think on her feet, describing how back in the day models were often expected to do their own hair, makeup and nails. And now - unlike many celebrities and their diva antics - the longtime vegetarian only has one demand while working around the world. "The only thing I put on my rider when travelling is that I don't eat meat or fish in case I get an upset tummy,' she revealed. 'So if I am presented with meat when I visit somewhere I just say, 'Oh it is against my religion.''

Original Coronation Street star Philip Lowrie dies aged 88
Lowrie, who appeared in the first episode of the soap in 1960 as the original bad body Dennis Tanner, died on Friday, his publicist Mario Renzullo said. 'My client and very dear friend, Philip Lowrie, the beloved actor renowned for his role as Dennis Tanner on Coronation Street, passed away yesterday at 88,' Mr Renzullo's Saturday statement said. William Roache (back row, from left) and Philip Lowrie (Dennis Tanner) towards the end with Coronation Street cast members (PA) 'His death marks the end of an era for the world's longest-running soap, where he became a cornerstone of its storytelling.' When the soap started more than six decades ago, Lowrie's character was seen as a national heartthrob thanks to his roguish role. Dennis was introduced as the son of Elsie Tanner, and moved in with his mother after being released from prison. He left the Street in 1968, when he married Jenny Sutton and moved to Bristol, and did not return until 2011. According to Mr Renzullo, Lowrie was presented in September 2011 with a certificate by the Guinness World Records for being the person with the longest gap between television appearances as the same character in the same show. Philip Lowrie on stage, pictured second from right (PA) Dennis soon got back in touch with newsagent Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox), who was her sweetheart when she first appeared in the show in 1966, and they tied the knot when he came back. He left the soap again in 2014, and was later killed off without making another appearance on screen. Lowrie had originally auditioned for the role of Ken Barlow prior to the show's launch, and appeared in the first episode at the age of 24. William Roache was soon cast as Ken for the beginning of the soap, and became a regular sparring partner for Dennis. Born in Ashton-under-Lyne, near Manchester, Lowrie's mother saved for his fees to go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) in London after he left school. After graduating three years later, he soon received his first parts in the West End, appearing with Dame Margaret Rutherford and Peggy Mount in the play Farewell, Farewell, Eugene. He also appeared on Victoria Wood's comedy shows, such as Victoria Wood's All Day Breakfast, Victoria Wood, Pat and Margaret, Live In Your Own Room, We'd Quite Like To Apologise, Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, and Wood And Walters. His later stage lead roles in the 2000s and 2010s included being in Dame Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, The Case Of The Frightened Lady and The Lady Vanishes.
