Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh says art and activism ‘always matter’

Social Affairs Editor and Presenter

The actor Julie Hesmondhalgh says now is the time to try and live your best life: she’s just brought out a new book, full of advice for anyone wanting to take up the acting profession –  and at a time when culture is under attack around the world – creativity has never been more necessary.

She is best known of course for her 16 years as Hayley Cropper on the long running ITV drama Coronation Street.
