Opening up about her latest role, Lily has praised Linda's ‘passion’, telling Digital Spy: "She's unafraid, really.
"She has all this passion and fire and energy but no structure to put it into because she wasn't educated.
“And women, the restraints on their choices were so great, and yet she still carves out this life following her own heart and making great sacrifices and great personal loss.
"There's a courage to be who she is. That feels radical, even now."
