Miriam Margolyes says she “never had any shame about being gay” as she makes her British Vogue cover debut aged 82.
The award-winning actress, known for her foul mouth and lovable eccentricity, said gay people are “not conventional” and she “wouldn’t want to be straight for anything”.
Margolyes is known for a wide range of work in the TV and film industry, including roles in Blackadder, Babe and the Harry Potter franchise.
She features along with other “LGBTQ+ pioneers”, including Ncuti Gatwa and Emma D’Arcy in the July edition of British Vogue.
In an accompanying interview, she discusses her sexuality and says she has always tried to “make people feel good about themselves”.
“It’s a strong position if you’re not afraid to be who you are,” she said.
“We’re all so insecure. People are frightened such a lot of the time and what I’ve always tried to do… (is) make people feel good about themselves.”
Margolyes came out as a lesbian in 1966, a time when homosexuality was illegal, and lived through the HIV crisis of the 1980s – during which she lost 34 friends.
She has been with her partner – academic Heather Sutherland – for 54 years.
“I never had any shame about being gay or anything really,” she told British Vogue.
“I knew it wasn’t criminal because it was me. I couldn’t be criminal.”
She added: “I think gay people are very lucky, because we are not conventional, we are a group slightly apart. It gives us an edge.
“We’re good artists, we’re good musicians. And I like being gay. I wouldn’t want to be straight for anything.”

Rowling’s best-selling series of novels, conceived this time as a television series for its streaming service Max.

In a new interview with ComicBook to promote his TBS comedy series “Miracle Workers: End Times,” Radcliffe expressed his support for whatever comes for “Harry Potter,” but that he doesn’t feel he needs to be there. “My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” Radcliffe stated. “I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I’m very excited to have that torch passed. But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”

Given the 10 million films that premiere at the Sundance Film Festival every year—give or take :D— you’ll be forgiven if you didn’t quite remember “Scrapper.” Premiering in the World Cinema Drama section—where it won that top prize—by all accounts, the film, directed by Charlotte Regan and starring up-and-comer Harris Dickinson (“Beach Rats,” “Triangle of Sadness”), is just as its title suggests: scrappy, endearing and charming.
