Podcast appearances and mentions of margaret schlegel

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism. In this episode, we take a look at the Merchant Ivory production, Howard’s End from 1992, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. England, early-1900s. Margaret Schlegel befriends Ruth Wilcox, the sickly wife of Henry Wilcox, a man of significant wealth. On her deathbed Ruth bequests her house, Howards End, to Margaret but this is deemed non-binding by her family and Margaret doesn't hear of the inheritance. Meanwhile, Margaret's sister Helen has taken a philanthropic interest in Leonard Bast, a poor, working class man. When Henry Wilcox and Margaret get engaged, Helen sees her chance to help out Leonard.

Thanks to her analytical approach to acting, Hayley Atwell inhabits characters brilliantly on both stage and screen. Training as a performer in her native London before breaking into Hollywood as Peggy Carter in Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” she’s worked with some of the best, in “Brideshead Revisited,” “The Duchess,” “Black Mirror,” “Conviction,” and more. She now stars as Margaret Schlegel in Kenneth Lonergan and Hettie Macdonald’s miniseries adaptation of “Howards End” on Starz, making E.M. Foster’s tale of class conflict in early 20th century England resonate in the 21st century.

Hayley Atwell is still beloved for her role as Agent Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But she's earned new acclaim for taking on the iconic role of Margaret Schlegel in the limited run TV series "Howards End." Written for television by Kenneth Lonergan, Howards End aired to great fanfare last fall in the UK, and has now made it to this side of the pond on Starz. As the series winds up its four-episode run, Hayley Atwell joins us on this edition of TURN IT ON, from IndieWire. (Music by HookSounds.)

Marvel may have given Hayley Atwell fame but a television adaptation of a century old novel may end up being the game changer for the actress. On this episode of "Happy Sad Confused", Atwell explains why playing Margaret Schlegel in the critically lauded adaptation of E.M. Forster's "Howards End" (currently airing on Starz) is the role she's been waiting for.  Plus Hayley reveals why she loves pulling pranks on her co-stars, how she landed the role of Peggy Carter, and introduces all of us to her secret American alter ego, Tiffany.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi I'm Laura Flanders of GRITtv. You often hear that progressive causes are trapped in competing "issue silos", so it's worth celebrating when those silo walls crack and people come together, as they did February 14th for VDay, a global day of action against violence against women. For the last couple of years, the anti-violence movement VDay has called on people to rise and dance on February 14th. This year the One Billion Rising campaign was dedicated to rising for Justice. In the lead up, I was invited to host a series of public events, talking about what justice, in fact, might look like. To our panels, we invited leaders from a range of movements. Among others, indigenous rights activist Sylvia McAdam, said justice would be respect for native women, and their land and water. Richmond CA, Mayor Gayle McLaughlin said that justice would be people holding corporations to account. Anti-incarceration activist Susan Burton said justice would look like fewer people locked up and more living free from assault and addiction. Community organizer Ashley Franklin said her just world include safe and affordable public transportation. Actress Olivia Wilde imagined more movies with more kinds of smart women, leading. You get the idea. In terms of outcomes, on February 14, a whole lot of people rose and danced everywhere you can think of, at prisons and parliaments and toxic dumps. You can see the pictures at OneBillionRising.org I was particularly moved to hear that some of our panelists had linked up: Susan Burton held a rising at a women's jail in South Los Angeles and Ashley Franklin and her colleagues came. In Richmond, Mayor McLaughlin marched with Sylvia MacAdam's group, Idle No More, to a local refinery to demand respect from Chevron. Maybe Olivia's got an idea for her next movie. It made me think about connection; Our movements lose momentum when we fail to grasp the intersectional nature of oppression, says my friend the brilliant law professor Kimberle Crenshaw. To which I'd only add that we make progress when we connect, not our causes, but the conditions of our lives. It reminds me of EM Forster's book Howards End in which the female heroine, Margaret Schlegel, takes issue with her businessman husband's chilly, calculating way of thinking. She is “fighting for women against men,” she thinks at the start, but mostly she's just arguing for imagination enough to feel affection for others. “Only connect” says Schlegel in Forster's book. “Live in fragments no longer.” She's not talking about bullet points but connecting as people. To see how our lives are related through pathways of power, and place, economics, environment and experience we first have to give one another close attention. What happens next? Vday's founder Eve Ensler says one word came up more than any other as people considered justice. Love. Justice apparently looks like caring. And to care, we have to meet. And pay attention. And maybe dance. For more from me, and to watch clips of the entire State of Female Justice Panel series, go to GRITtv.org and sign up there to join our mailing list.
