Another Real Woman Role For Julie Walters

We previously reported about Julie Walters’ portrayal of Mary Whitehouse, the woman who challenged the BBC during the 1960’s, in a movie for BBC2. According to an article in MailOnline, the actress, known as “Molly Weasley” in the Harry Potter films, has accepted the role of Dr. Anne Turner for a BBC1 TV film. Dr. Turner was a medical practitioner from Bath who became publicly known in 2006 for announcing her intention to end her life by means of assisted suicide after being diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a neurological degenerative disease. A Short Stay In Switzerland will be directed by Simon Curtis. Mr. Curtis also directed the mini-series Cranford which starred Dame Judi Dench and Dame Eileen Atkins. He was quoted to have said that Ms. Walters has “that extra ingredient the public responds to; Dame Judi has that, too. The audience love to go on the journey she takes them on”.
