Morfydd Clark Loves Armando Iannuci's Ending in 'David Copperfield' Carole Horst, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail Rose Glass’ genre-bending drama “Saint Maud” stars Morfydd Clark, whose portrayal of a nurse spiraling down into a whirlpool of ecstatic faith after the death of a patient under her care has mesmerized audiences and critics. It’s a star-making vehicle for Clark, who’s in New Zealand, shooting “The Lords of the Rings” series for Amazon. Clark can also be seen in Armando Iannucci’s “The Personal History of David Copperfield,” scene-stealing as David’s first love Dora (she also plays his mother). When she met Iannucci, “It was a meeting-your-heroes moment, and he kind of surpassed all my expectations. He was just so nice and funny and generous and offered me two roles. I really loved the fact of the double casting because David Copperfield was searching for a comfort that was taken away from him too soon.”
