Q&A with Imelda Staunton

Who was easiest to work with: your husband, Jim Carter, in Guys and Dolls; your daughter, Bessie, in Mrs Warren’s Profession; or your dog, Molly, who played Chowsie in Gypsy at Chichester Festival theatre in 2014? TopTramp The dog, obviously. Because she was the easiest to carry. I carried the dog on stage. Try doing that with Jim Carter – not going to happen. And my daughter, who’s 5ft 9in, that’s not going to happen either. Having my dog in the show was fantastic because she liked everything I did, so that was quite useful. Did Molly have to audition? No, she knew someone in the show.

Imelda's a sharp one.
