Kristin Scott Thomas — on meeting Prince, reuniting with Scarlett Johansson, and writing her own story

The incomparable Kristin Scott Thomas—star of “The English Patient,” “Slow Horses,” and now writer-director-star of the deeply personal film “My Mother’s Wedding” – joins the show. Over mushroomy eggs and quiche, we cover her extraordinary career in both English and French -- from her baptism-by-fire debut opposite Prince in “Under the Cherry Moon” to her viral “Fleabag” monologue. Kristin also tells me about reuniting with Scarlett Johansson as her on-screen daughter for the third time, and why Robert Altman’s “Gosford Park” set was both thrilling and intimidating. This episode was recorded at La Mercerie in SoHo, New York City.
