We should probably refer to her as Marcia Lucas, but yes, I believe she did.
Speaking of women’s work being under-valued, and the Oscars, there’s no award for Casting (also mainly done by women), and yet audiences are more likely to notice if someone’s being mis-cast, rather than they are badly-directed.
Thank you, I can never remember her name. Costume design is only recently starting to become valued as well I feel. Are there other areas where women struggle to be recognized in the industry? I assume stunt work is a big one.
Casting and Editing are the biggies, I think. Obviously there’s also the struggle for women to get the roles that are valued (e.g. Director)
What about careers on the fringes like speech coaches for actors and things like that. Do we ever actually praise those people? Wouldn’t be surprised to learn that was majority women too.
There’s likely something in that. The reason why Rebecca Ferguson has a wonky accent in SILO (to use a recent example) isn’t Ferguson’s fault, it’s the producers not investing the time or money in getting her coached.
