The Pursuit of Love
Who is Emily Beecham may sound like a silly enquiry post Sunday nightâs
The Pursuit of Love debut â but perhaps she wasnât quite so widely known prior to that. And if three consecutive Sunday night prime-time bursts of Emily Mortimer meets Nancy Mitford arenât enough to blow Beecham into the mainstream, then her upcoming roles in
Cruella and
Little Joe (and for which she received Best Actress at Cannes in 2019) certainly will be.
The 36-year-old English-American actress â who is 37 this month â revealed in an interview with the
Sunday Times Style magazine over the weekend that she nearly quit the industry a few years back. Reportedly âexasperated by depressing castings and limited roles, bracketed by her admittedly quite âperiodâ looksâ. It was her casting in indie chiller

Old houses have stories, but over the years they fade in people’s memories. Murders that happened before newspapers went online are just not that easy to find.
House numbers change, neighbours move away, people forget, and while some homeowners will serve up a murder as dinner party fodder, most live in fear that a murder will bring down the value of their home.

Margaret Erle, the 16-year-old daughter of refugees from Nazi Germany, fell in love with George Katz, 17, the son of two Viennese Holocaust survivors in Upper Manhattan in 1960.
At the time, there was little birth control, no sex education, and abortion, of course, was illegal. Like more than 3 million other young unwed women in America, Margaret got pregnant. Her family pressured her into seclusion at Lakeview, a maternity home on Staten Island run by Louise Wise Services, the go-to adoption agency of the era for Jewish families. New York State back then required that the religion of a birth mother had to match that of the prospective adoptive parents.
