Call The Midwife star Jenny Agutter is fulfilling a life-long ambition to become a director

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Call The Midwife’ star Jenny Agutter is fulfilling a life-long ambition to become a director.
The 69-year-old actress – who has played Sister Julienne in the BBC period drama since it began in 2012 – is now taking the reins on a theatre show and is thrilled to get the opportunity to be the one giving out the instructions, and she wants to take the stage skills behind the camera for TV too.
She told Candis Magazine: “I’ve always wanted to be behind the camera, directing or producing. I have a project that I’m working on at the moment with a London-based theatre group. COVID affected the work being done, but that became a part of what we filmed.”
The actress – who made her stage debut in 1970 and has appeared in numerous productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company throughout her career – added that she is “very lucky” and has always believed in “seizing opportunities” whenever they present themselves.
“I’m very lucky … Still, I take a day at a time. I’ve always believed in seizing opportunities when they come along and celebrating when good things happen and I hope I can continue to do so.”
Meanwhile, Jenny – who is gearing up to celebrate her 70th birthday in December – explained that there is a “pressure” being put on the idea that youth equates to beauty, but insisted that wrinkles are “earned” as life goes on.
She said: “I don’t like the pressure that is put on of youth being beautiful and age not. I think you earn the lines on your face.”
