Inspired by the real-life Joan Hannington, this six-part ITV series sees Sophie Turner explore the life of the notorious jewel thief, trapped in a marriage with a violent criminal.Talking about the upcoming series, Sophie says: “There was so much about the show that appealed.
First of all, it was a story about a real woman. Joan had an obscene appetite for adventure and doing new things. I was drawn as well to the way she could compartmentalise her life.” Sophie also got to meet her real-life counterpart, Joan Hannington. “The moment Joan walked in, she burst into tears.
We hadn’t even said anything. She just said, ‘It’s perfect.’ I think Frank [Dillane] cried, too. It was just a very, very emotional meeting.
I learned such a lot from her. I learnt about her bravado, the way she owned the room as she walked into it – it was like she had the world wrapped around her little finger.” Frank Dillane, who plays Joan’s second husband, Boisie Hannington, has since become good friends with the “real Joan”.
