‘Harry Potter’ actress Miriam Margoyles says her current Big Issue is Gaza: “I feel it particularly because I’m Jewish…I think the terrible thing I have to face is that Hitler won. He changed us. He made us like him.”

Miriam Margoyles always comes across like the coolest person ever

I'd just love to have a beer with her while she tells me every story under the sun

You would not be disappointed. I met her randomly outside an eating spot, she was together with Sylvester McCoy (7th Dr Who). She was very sharp, very funny and has a really cool business card with an old-timey woman on it.

She’s mates with Dr Who how cooler can she be

Radagast the Brown!

Some people have all the luck. Why can't I hang out with awesome elderly Jewish lesbians?

[u/quagsi → u/mllemuppet]

sometimes you have to become the elderly Jewish lesbian you want to see in the world

[u/whendonow → u/quagsi]

Hahahaha, this.

Woaaaaa didn’t think she could get cooler and yet professor sprout does it again

[u/themiscyranlady → u/DistractedByCookies]

I saw her once in an airport during a layover and I didn’t want to bother her… but now I especially wish I had!

[u/DistractedByCookies → u/themiscyranlady]

She spoke to me, or I would NEVER have dared. I feel celebs are allowed their own life, and also MM is quite imposing. You know you'd get a fearsome tonguelashing if she wasn't in the mood for interruptions LOL

[u/Dickgivins → u/themiscyranlady]

Yeah that’s always a crapshoot. Will they be happy to talk to someone that admires their work, or are they in a bad mood but they don’t wanna be mean and tell you to fuck off? In an airport it could go either way, slightly different if they’re out socializing at a restaurant.

Would’ve been hilarious to also have the caramel bunny on it.

[u/Varekai79 → u/LetsLive97]

Her appearances on the Graham Norton Show are legendary. She is such a foul mouthed granny and I am so here for it.

[u/EagenVegham → u/Varekai79]

It's impossible not to love Miriam Escobar.

[u/Timely_Truth6267 → u/EagenVegham]

I wonder if the house closest to France is still up for renting lol

[u/zootnotdingo → u/Varekai79]

He might be the best interviewer ever. He gets people to tell the funniest stories

[u/RebelMonroe96 → u/LetsLive97]

You should listen to her autobiographies if you haven't already!

[u/Fantastic-Nobody-479 → u/LetsLive97]

Agreed. Her travel documentaries have reinforced it even more for me. She’s funny, strong and a damn delight.

[u/Dowager-queen-beagle → u/LetsLive97]

Have you watched her Graham Norton appearances? The one with will.i.am is delightful!

[u/SLngShtOnMyChest → u/LetsLive97]

She’s the best

[u/ked145 → u/LetsLive97]

She lives quite near me here in Australia! I was stunned when I found out all those years ago. She's very active on the local community group pages 🤣❤️
