Introducing O, The Observer Magazine with Dame Sheila Hancock

"This first issue of O, The Observer Magazine features Dame Sheila Hancock along with four other dames on the front page: Helen Mirren, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emma Thompson and Harriet Walter. Individually these brilliant women have accrued many lifetimes’ worth of significant achievements. But collectively they represent something far greater: a model for how to live now – humanely, with creativity, curiosity, wit and hope."
