Kate Winslet will star as Lee Miller in ‘Lee’, a new film about the Vogue model and war photographer’s life during World War II. Here’s everything we know so far about ‘Lee’.
In June 2020, after years of speculation, it was confirmed that Kate Winslet would take on the role of Lee Miller, British Vogue’s prolific World War II correspondent under the magazine’s formidable editor-in-chief Audrey Withers, in a new Sky Original film directed by Oscar-nominated auteur Ellen Kuras.
The drama’s log line describes it as “not a biopic”, but an exploration of “the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life” – the period between 1938 and 1948. “As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse,” it adds. “She defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline. There, in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless.
