Olivia Colman takes home the GoldenGlobe for her role in TheCrown. Revisit her V.F. cover story:
been publicly christened “divinely gifted” by Meryl Streep after playing her character’s daughter inand been cast on a series that comes with its own Buckingham Palace. But the Norfolk-raised actress was delirious about being inside the real-life landmark. She also has a naughty sense of humor. Those factors, plus her contact high from Prince William’s handshake, overtook Colman. She turned to Eddie and whispered, “Go get some loo roll.
“To have lost 17 children at varying stages, I can sort of imagine what that felt like—though you don’t really want to,” she says. “Once I knew that about her, I didn’t care what she did. If that’s happened to you, I think you behave however you want.” Though Colman has played put-upon women who have silently and sometimes weepily endured trauma, she always sees their inner fortitude, noting of Queen Anne, “You couldn’t cope with all of that and not be extraordinarily strong.
“Everything’s very close to the surface with Olivia,” says David Tennant, who co-starred with Colman on“She laughs more heartily than anyone, and she cries more rawly than anyone . . . that’s part of the key to her brilliance.”Colman and Stone developed their own inside jokes, a bond that made their most intimate scene—in which Abigail’s hand wanders up Queen Anne’s leg in bed one night—all the more challenging to film.
Lanthimos was so transfixed by Colman’s turn that he cast her in a supporting role in his 2015 dystopian black comedyDuring that collaboration, Lanthimos was impressed with her versatility and ability to summon any emotion “like lightning,” and by “what a wonderful human being she is.”Colman felt so bad about screaming at an actor who played an attendant that, every time Lanthimos called cut, she would double back to apologize.
“They’re quite excited, and I think a little bit anxious that Claire Foy might be much better,” Colman says, referring to her Emmy-winning predecessor. This role is a bit more nerve-racking for Colman “because everyone knows what the Queen looks like, what she sounds like, and everyone’s in love with Claire Foy, including me.”
Says Colman, “There are moments like that when she will change the tradition and say, ‘This is ridiculous. He was important to all of us, and he was a prime minister’—a guide to her grandfather, her father, to her. The rules change now. Well done her.”a challenge. “I emote,” Colman says. “The queen is not meant to.” Coat and shirt by Prada.
