Hey guys, Willie Guys Tier with another episode of the Sunday Sitdown podcast.

Thanks so much for checking in with us again this week.

My guest, one of Hollywood's biggest stars right now, Margot Robbie.

Margot and I got together at the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel in New York City to talk

about her latest role as Queen Elizabeth I in the new period drama, Mary Queen of Scots.

She plays opposite Sursher Ronan who plays Queen Mary.

Margot tells me all about the physical transformations she underwent for that film, what it was like

to work with her friend Sursher and the history she quickly had to study up on to learn about

the Queen and to actually play that role.

She also reflects a little bit on where Hollywood is about a year after the launch of the

Times Up initiative which took place at last year's Golden Gloves and the move by women

at that show you might remember to wear black.

She was one of 300 or so women in Hollywood to sign the letter launching Times Up.

She also talks about tackling the industry's gender problem head on through her own production

company.

It's called Lucky Chat Productions.

She focuses on telling female driven stories and hiring females to make the films.

As you'll hear shortly, Margot and I got together in effectively a famous old room, the

Oak Room.

But at that time when she and I sat down it was a large, empty.

I don't want to call it haunted looking bar but it was, well I guess you'll hear as

you listen to the two of us talk.
