‘Grotesquerie’: Lesley Manville On Why She Thinks Redd Is “A Good, Kind Human Being” Despite Her Transgressions
Grotesquerie star Lesley Manville spoke with Deadline about the finale of the FX series and the dichotomies of her character
In FX’s Grotesquerie, Lesley Manville plays an ill-mannered nurse with a bone to pick with Lois (Niecy Nash-Betts), whose husband she’s caring for while he’s in a comatose state. After Lois shuts down his plan for the three of them to live together, Redd tells him she only played along with presenting the idea to his ex-wife so she could see the embarrassment when she rejected it.
