Sally Lindsay welcomes actress Julie Graham for an intimate and revealing evening of conversation for the latest episode of A Night in with Sally Lindsay.
Julie reflects on her remarkable career, including starring roles in Benidorm, This City is Ours and The Hardacres. She shares stories from behind the scenes, discusses working alongside acclaimed actor Sean Bean, and looks back on the roles that have defined her career.
In a deeply personal interview, Julie opens up about the devastating losses that shaped her life, including the death of her beloved mother and the tragic and sudden death of her her former husband. She speaks candidly about grief, resilience, and finding a way forward through some of her darkest moments - including how the team on Benidorm supported her through one of her hardest moments.
With honesty and humour, Julie and Sally also discuss ageing in the entertainment industry, embracing new opportunities, and Julie reveals why reaching her sixties has brought a newfound sense of freedom, confidence and liberation.
