Post your questions for Miranda Richardson

She has lit up screens large and small playing Ruth Ellis, Rita Skeeter, Barbara Castle and the hilarious Queenie in Blackadder. Alternatively, you could ask about birds of prey, orangutans or playing the cello Judging by the size of her awards cupboard, Miranda Richardson has had quite the career. She won a Bafta for the 1992 psychological drama Damage, opposite Jeremy Irons, and Golden Globes for the 1991 historical drama Enchanted April and the 1994 Nazi thriller Fatherland, and was Oscar-nominated for both Damage and the 1994 historical drama Tom & Viv.
