    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the Kate Winslet episode, she states the reason she's doing a movie about the Holocaust is because she'd been nominated for four Academy Awards and hadn't yet won, but doing a movie of this nature would guarantee her an Oscar. Four years later, after five nominations in total, she finally won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress, for her Holocaust based drama The Reader (2008).

    Ashley Jensen

    In love with Maggie. I wanted to bash anyone who hurt her feelings. Jensen plays this character with such vulnerability and respect.
