Lesley Manville

Mum may be the epitome of a name for a BBC show, exemplifying a longing for the “good old days” when things were a little simpler. Actress Lesley Manville starred in the comedy series for the length of it before its 2019 cancellation.

Surprisingly with all the critical acclaim, Manville only sees residuals of around $2,000 per year, which is well below what’s expected of a show of that caliber. Nevertheless, the talented actress carries on with grace and style.
