In this interview, Keeley Hawes talks about the expanding at exciting roles that are now available for mature women in acting.

Hawes, who turns 39 next month, said: “I think that you only have to look at our TV screens at the moment to see maybe there is a change happening, with Olivia Colman in Broadchurch, Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Honourable Woman and Gillian Anderson in The Fall. These aren’t 20-year-olds. These are women with a bit of life experience.”

Her success in roles more suited to mature women than flighty teenagers or sultry twentysomethings – such as the hard-bitten and explosively violent policewoman Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton in BBC2’s Line of Duty – means she is less minded to complain about the parts offered to older actresses.

 Keeley Hawes is a supporter for UNICEF and had travelled to Papua New Guinea this year to help support UNICEF. "Keeley witnessed children with severe malnutrition being treated in the capital’s main hospital and travelled by boat to one of the most remote places on Earth to see children being vaccinated against life threating yet preventable diseases."  Here are some photos of Keeley in Djibouti from 2012 for World Food Day.

You don't have to be a celebrity to help out.  You, too, can help UNICEF and the projects they support.  One such is the UNICEF Ambassadors calendar 2015, which includes a photo of Keeley.

Share the adventures of UNICEF Ambassadors and supporters who have travelled to UNICEF's programmes. This stunning new calendar explores the countries and children's projects visited and gives a brief history of their involvement.

Keeley Hawes spoke with the Guardian revealing more about her character, Lindsay Denton, in Line of Duty.

A small excerpt:

What drew you to the character? It was the writing, initially. Sometimes you read a character and there’s something about them that isn’t quite real. But I believed in Lindsay Denton from the off, because she’s flawed and very, very real to me, and I understood her immediately. Jed Mercurio wrote Line of Duty and I got the scripts one morning, and when I started reading I assumed I knew what I was getting. It became apparent very quickly that I didn’t, which was a really nice surprise. I was sent five or six episodes and sat and read all of them in my pyjamas one after the other – I couldn’t stop!

In this wonderful interview, Keeley talks about a variety of subject matters including getting an honorary award from University Campus Suffolk (UCS) for outstanding contribution in their field.  Keeley also talks about being an ambassador for Childnet International, a charity which teaches methods to make the Internet safer for children.

A quote from Keeley on her honorary award:

“I can’t tell you how genuinely thrilling it is to actually receive something that makes me feel a little bit clever. Thank you to University Campus Suffolk, I can’t wait to come along, stand alongside the incredible graduates who worked so hard for their degrees, pick up my degree and start showing it off to everyone I meet.”

Keeley has made RED's Women of the Year shortlist and has been interviewed this month.

In the expanded interview, Keeley talk about her iconic role as Lindsay Denton in the second series of Line of Duty, including depression something both Keeley and her character Lindsay have experienced.

‘I started suffering with depression when I was 17. It’s not something that’s cured and then goes away and you move on. You are always aware, even if it’s only on a bad morning here and there, that it can escalate quickly. Life is too short for that. I wouldn’t let it happen again. I wouldn’t let it overtake me.’

Has she had therapy? ‘It didn’t really work for me. I’ve got a chemical imbalance that has to be managed. And then it’s fine. I’d much rather it was managed than I live my life battling away with something that can be fixed.’

The full interview will be in the October issue of RED magazine and will be available Sept 4th.
