May I present Lady Jane Grey?
History remembers Lady Jane Grey as the nine day queen
who tragically lost her head at the end of her
very short reign.
And my Lady Jane, the heroine at least gets a
chance to survive and maybe even thrive.
I will do everything in my power to get out
to this marriage.
Jane, you have no power like many a young woman
before her.
Jane is at the mercy of her scheming mother and
future father-in-law who see her as a means to an
end.
The future of the monarchy is at stake.
Emily Bader stars as the title character.
I was positive I was not going to get this
part and when I found out you know that I
got it on the phone,
I think I truly cried for about 60 minutes afterwards.
What is your desire Independence.
Edward Bluemail plays her equally reluctant husband.
When I first read the script,
it like it just jumps off the page as something
that's so unique.
And it feels like a clash of so many different
genres in a way that I hadn't really seen before.
Gamesmanship is my second best skill.
And a Chancellor and Rob Brydon take turns as the
scheming parents.
There's something very freeing about that.
Something very something very funny about that.
It's a real pleasure to play somebody scheming and manipulative.
As you can see, I still have my head.
I intend to keep it in Hollywood.
I'm Alicia Stanford.
