Description

Kirsty Young asks actor Minnie Driver what advice she would give her younger self.

Driver has fashioned a 30-year career in the entertainment industry since becoming a Hollywood star in movies including Circle of Friends and Grosse Pointe Blank. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Good Will Hunting, and she revisits that famous Oscar night with Kirsty. Driver also discusses her unconventional childhood, being left to fend for herself in Miami as an 11 year old, sexism and misogyny in the film industry, and the teacher who inspired her.

A BBC Studios Audio production.
