Amuka-Bird plays the role of Anne's godmother, Lady Russell, who persuaded Anne not to marry Captain Wentworth. With roles like Rav Mulcair on "Avenue 5," Marsha on "Gold Digger," Mrs. Steerforth in "The Personal History of David Copperfield," and Diomika Tsing in "Jupiter Ascending," the BAFTA nominee will do a great job as this character.
