KATHARINE CLIFTON
Kristin Scott Thomas

" If I gave you my life, you would drop it. Wouldn't you? "

Coming from a rich and protected family background, Katherine has all along taken admiration from others for granted. When Almasy appears cool towards her, she begins to play a game of teasing and taunting him that leads to a disastrous conclusion.

"This part is my dream come true. I wrote letters, begged and pleaded for the role. To give in to a passion like that, to get swept up like that...I want to be Katharine forever and ever."

"There's a huge difference between Kath and the other women I've played. She's so open and confident and glowingly easy with everyone else and herself. The other women I've played until now have been, on the contrary, kind of reserved, I'd say frustrated. Kath doesn't wait for anything. You have to be much braver to do it like that.
