Becoming Hattie

Jo has followed in Hattie Jacques’ acting footsteps. But why does she only get cast as the nurse, never the surgeon? And why is she too fat to play Lady Macbeth? Thoughtful, funny, warm and nostalgic, Becoming Hattie takes an affectionate look at the life and career of a remarkable woman – and a witty, caustic examination of modern life in show business and its cultural attitudes toward larger women.
