Sophie Turner opens up on playing a glamorous diamond thief in Joan

Actress Sophie Turner makes her return to the small screen with quite a meaty role in Joan. The British drama is about a jewellery thief, who was so prolific that she became known as “the Godmother” in Britain’s criminal underworld. However, despite her aptitude for pilfering wigs, diamonds and fake accents, Joan is as much a story about the lengths a mother will go to for her child (played by Mia Millichamp-Long) as it is a heist caper, reports Variety. The actress shared that it was the maternal love that she most strongly identified with when she was first approached about the project. (IANS)
