Zoë Wanamaker is exasperated with politics. “Where do we get these people? Where do we get these politicians?”
I had asked the star of theatre, television and film for thoughts on the general election. But true to her US roots, she also has Donald Trump on her mind.
“The fact that America now will probably have Trump as a president, who is basically a television star and a bully… Language has disintegrated completely. Mental health is probably struggling because of it. The licence to treat other people badly has spread so much.”
Wanamaker was born in New York, and as Madam Hooch in , and countless celebrated roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre.
