has spoken out about the lack of opportunities and support afforded to women and people of color in the film industry, both above and below the line.
Turner-Smith, who was in Cannes for the launch of her new film, “After Yang” from director Kogonada, also discussed how few people of color she sees behind the scenes. “When you make casting choices and you hire actors of color in something, you have to hire people who know how to do their make-up, who know how to do their hair, who know how to light them properly,” she said.
Turner-Smith, who is currently working on the Noah Baumbach film “White Noise” alongside Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig and Don Cheadle, also opened up about some of the backlash she faced in her turn as Henry VIII’s wife in the recent U.K. limited series “Anne Boleyn.”
