Show Notes
Alison Owen is one of the UK’s leading film producers. Her credits range from the zombie apocalypse comedy Shaun of the Dead to Saving Mr Banks, the story of the making of the film Mary Poppins, starring Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks.
Her most recent film is based on the short life of singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse and the making of her album Back to Black.
Alison probably knows better than most what it’s like to be a young woman in the spotlight, as the mother of a high-profile star herself: the singer Lily Allen.
Her music choices include Beethoven, Coltrane, Ravel and Puccini.
