On one of the days on set, she recalls she had a bout of heatstroke, saying: "It was incredibly hot — so hot that I ended up getting taken to the hospital one day for passing out! I just keeled over into this very nice, huge actor, which was lucky."
She also shared more about her role in the limited ITV and Amazon Prime drama series which she says has been the most challenging of her career to date.
In The Widow she plays Georgia Wells, whose life is turned upside down when she is told that her husband died in a plane crash in the Congolese jungle. Three years later she travels to the Congo to find out the truth about his death.
