ALISON BOSHOFF: Wild child Lily Allen gets serious in Scandi classic Hedda Gabler


In a bold move which signals ­considerable ambition, Lily Allen, 38, will play the lead in a new adaptation of Ibsen's play titled Hedda, by British director Matthew Dunster.

Ingrid Bergman, Peggy Ashcroft, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Cate Blanchett, Glenda Jackson and Rosamund Pike have all played Ibsen's manipulative, tragic heroine Hedda Gabler. He will serve as the Sussexes' main point of contact for all UK and European media, working alongside global head of communications Ashley Hansen and deputy press secretary Kyle Boulia, both in Los Angeles. It's thought she and Meghan met in 2014 when the Suits actress needed help in writing a travel blog about Costa Rica for The Tig; they jointly wrote an online article about a holiday in the country.
