The Oscar winner expressed her frustration over backers who didn’t appreciate women-centred stories. Kate, 48, both produced and starred in the upcoming biopic Lee, about Elizabeth “Lee” Miller a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. But she said it hadn’t been easy to get funding for the film. “I’ve been in this industry for a long time, won an Oscar. It doesn’t make any f**king difference when you’re making a film about a historical female figure.”
