British actress Maisie Williams, who plays Erya in Game of Thrones, plays the heroine Catherine Dior in the upcoming TV series A New Look. The series has a total of 10 episodes, which is based on real events, focusing on the famous French fashion designers Christian Dior and Coco Chanel, telling the legendary story of Christian Dior's rise in World War II and competition with other world-famous fashion brands such as Coco Chanel.
Catherine Dior is the younger sister of Christian Dior. During the Nazi occupation of Paris during World War II, she joined the Resistance in 1941 to gather information about the German army and armaments. In 1944, she was arrested by the Gestapo, tortured and deported to a women's concentration camp. Subsequently, he was forced to work in military prisons, satellite concentration camps, etc. Released in 1945, she was awarded the Cross, the King's Order of Courage for Freedom and the Legion of Honor for her performance in the Resistance. After the war, Catherine continued to run a flower business: first as a flower merchant in Paris, then as a flower farmer in Provence, producing perfumes. In 1947, her brother launched the fragrance "Miss Dior" that bears her name.
In order to more realistically portray the character's emaciated state after World War II, Maisie, now 27, said in an interview that she was tormented. Eat very little, only a little salty and dehydrated - a small piece of smoked salmon and a small glass of wine. When she's not shooting, she needs to light candles and meditate on incense at her residence. I wake up at 4 a.m. and can only sleep for about three hours a day. The worst part is that sometimes I can't sleep at all, and I wake up the next day with a mess of my mind. When I can fall asleep, I often have nightmares and dream of a terrifying picture of a man wearing **.
It can be seen that she is very dedicated and completed the shooting task under great pressure.
