ACTRESS OLIVIA VINALL IS SET TO BEGUILE TV AUDIENCES WITH A DOUBLE ROLE IN THE BBC’S  THE WOMAN IN WHITE

I'm destined to be put in white dresses for ever more!’ laughs Olivia Vinall, as she wafts into the photo studio in a floaty frock. Such is your fate when you’re the headline act in The Woman in White, BBC One’s major new period drama. The five-parter is an adaptation of Wilkie Collins’ 1860 gothic suspense novel, aka the world’s first psychological thriller, in which Olivia plays asylum patient Anne Catherick and also Laura Fairlie, the naive sister to the forthright, proto-feminist Marian (played by War & Peace’s Jessie Buckley).

The Queen star Helen Mirren has signed up to play another monarch – Catherine the Great. The Oscar-winning actor came up with the idea for the Sky and HBO drama, saying she had always wanted to play the Russian empress and was attracted to the idea of playing such a powerful woman.
