The Loves of My Life: Bessie Carter

      The most impactful interviews tend to be the most personal. In "Loves of My Life," we uncover the individual behind their artistry by asking the essential questions we are eager to know—their favorite restaurants and date night locations, what's saved in their Instagram folder, their most cherished piece of jewelry, and what’s hiding at the bottom of their handbag. Essentially, these reflect the genuine loves in their life. Up next is actress Bessie Carter, widely recognized for her portrayal of Prudence Featherington on the Netflix series "Bridgerton." She will soon portray Nancy Mitford in the upcoming show "Outrageous," available exclusively on Britbox.
