Jodie Comer is having a very good year. In April, she took home a prestigious Olivier Award for best actress in the play 'Prima Facie.' One month later, she was also nominated for a best actress Tony for the same role on Broadway.

Comer's convincing performance in"Killing Eve," which won her a best actress Emmy in 2019, almost cost her the part in"Prima Facie." Playwright Suzie Miller said she was at first hesitant to pick Comer for the role."When her name was bought up, I said, 'Oh, no, no. She's great, but no, not her,'" Miller recalled."And the director said to me, 'Can I just ask why not Jodie Comer?' And I said, 'Well, she's Russian.

"The statistics speak for themselves," Miller said."One in 10 women actually reports a sexual assault. Out of those, I think it's one in 10 that go to court. And out of those, there's a 1.3% conviction rate. I mean, that's astonishing when you think about it."
