Interview: Ashley Jensen
From the article:
"Rather than a swanky hotel restaurant, my interview with Ashley Jensen takes places in the fetid, cramped basement office of a rehearsal studio on the edge of a south-London council estate. A trapped fly throws itself repeatedly against a locked window while Jensen gamely tries to shovel a Marks & Spencer salad into her mouth while trying to answer my questions. It is the kind of location that you would expect to find Maggie Jacob languishing in, Jensen's character in Ricky Gervais's brutal comedy 'Extras,' as she tried to scrape by a career in bit parts, but hardly the kind of place you expect to find the Scottish-born actress who was whisked off to Hollywood to star in prime-time comedy 'Ugly Betty.'"
