show, Powley plays Miep Gies, a young woman who put her life on the line to help Anne Frank’s family, including her dad Otto , during World War II. “His performance as Otto is so beautiful, it’s so quiet and subtle and resting and it’s a great antithesis to my Miep who was quite an outspoken, chaotic, loud person. So the scenes that we have together are some of my favorites.”
Powley then went on to clarify the one physical change Schreiber had to do to look like the patriarch. “That is a bald cap, he does have hair in real life,” she adds. “I’m sure he’d want me to say that.” Schreiber, for his part, was apparently not a huge fan of the new look. “It was the first time he wore that bald cap and I’m telling you he was not happy,” she remembers.
As for what most surprised Powley about the Franks’ tragic story, she said their hiding place was even more difficult to live in than people imagine. “I can’t tell you how claustrophobic it is,” she says of the set’s exact replica on the hidden annex. “I mean just filming in there for a day with nine other actors was [claustrophobic] so I can even imagine what it must have been like for these people who had to live there for two years.
Luckily for Powley, Joe Cole, who plays Miep’s husband Jan Gies on the show, was also a pleasure to work with. “He’s a great friend of mine and it was very easy having this kind of chemistry with him because he’s such a lovely person,” she says. “I love their relationship so much, it’s so special and it was such a dream working with Joe.”is the “fantastic” Eleanor Tomlinson, who plays Miep’s best friend Tess.
