A Small Light's Bel Powley shares her experience of bringing Miep to life in new Anne Frank story
Powley also opened up on the responsibility she felt to do justice to the real people behind the characters.
"Obviously you feel a certain amount of responsibility when you're playing a real person. Also, I think this is such a heavy part of a history that means a lot to so many people. I felt the weight of that a bit as well. But on the flipside, I think that Miep really is a kind of everywoman, and is very relatable to a lot of young women. So that kind of made it a bit easier – the fact that she never really wanted to be put on a pedestal. She never wanted to be called a hero.
"She kind of wanted us all to see a bit of ourselves in her. So it was getting that balance of bringing a bit of myself to the role, but also respectfully honouring her and the facts, and the weight of that part of history as well."
