Show Notes
In 1955 London, a glamorous model and nightclub hostess shot and killed her aristocrat lover and was sentenced to death for the crime. Her name was Ruth Ellis, and her life and crime has fascinated the British public for years, and led to the elimination of the death penalty in the UK. Ruth's story is now the subject of a four-part drama series on Britbox, starring Lucy Boynton. We speak to Boyton and showrunner Kelly Jones about "A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story."
