Digital Spy: Karen Gillan in BBC Four’s ‘We’ll Take Manhattan’ - First look picture
The BBC has released a first look promotional image from new drama We’ll Take Manhattan.
The one-off biopic - first announced in March - stars Doctor Who actress Karen Gillan as ’60s supermodel Jean Shrimpton.
Aneurin Barnard will also appear as Shrimpton’s lover, British Vogue photographer David Bailey, in the John McKay-penned piece.Gillan recently revealed that both Shrimpton and Bailey had voiced their approval of the project.
“[Jean] left a lovely message saying she really enjoyed it,” she explained. “David Bailey loved it too. And they’re really honest people so that means something to me.”
The Scottish star previously admitted that she was concerned about portraying a real-life figure.
“I guess there is more pressure because part of me thinks I should stay true to what this person actually was,” said Gillan. “And they’re still alive, which is quite a significant thing as well, because they’re going to see how you portray them.”
We’ll Take Manhattan will air on BBC Four in January.I can’t wait until American television makes a (probably sub-par) version of this show. I love Jean Shrimpton so much. If I ever met her I would make passionate, but gentle, love to her. And yes, I am aware that she very recently turned 69 years old. I regret nothing.
