This week on The Lonely Arts Club, we're joined by iconic actress, Rita Tushingham. 

Born and raised in Liverpool, Rita became the first significant female face of the British New Wave in cinema. Starring in films such as 'A Taste of Honey', 'Girl with Green Eyes' and 'The Knack', Rita shares stories of where her journey into acting began at the age of just seventeen and how her career was shaped by often being cast in rather controversial roles.
