“There was a moment, somewhere in the nexus between Game of Thrones and The Crown, where it felt as if [Nina] Gold’s name was gliding through the credits of every high-end show on TV.

But in the past few years, she has ascended into Hollywood’s mega-franchise league (the Star Wars saga, sequels to Jurassic World and Mamma Mia!). Gold is partly responsible for the impression that British actors have colonised Hollywood.”
