Playing a public figure is always a great responsibility because the actor or actress is faced with the challenge of reflecting the spirit of the person in the best possible way. It is an advantage when the character in question can be interviewed and thus get to know more in depth.
Felicity Jones had that luck and visited Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on which the film On the Basis of Sex was based. "I was very lucky to meet Justice Ginsburg in her apartment in Washington, and the meeting was very moving," she said.
"There were so many details, and I did not want to forget anything, so I remember asking, "Ruth, do you mind if I take some pictures?" Then, I took pictures of her desk and the way everything was arranged," recalls Jones.
About the meeting, the actress has a feeling she will not forget: "one of the strongest things I noticed was that this woman is extremely human and cares about everything. There is nothing done superficially or arrogantly."
On the Basis of Sex. A life in favor of equality
In the film, Felicity Jones embodies the first years of a young lawyer with determination and conviction that makes an incredible career that will take her to a position in the Supreme Court of the United States. The journey of a life that certainly deserves a film like this.
