From Princess Anne to Queen of the Elephants: Erin Doherty on A Thousand Blows

Erin Doherty (early 30s, light skin tone) is in character as Mary Carr, dressed in victorian clothing with a turquoise coat and skirts. She looks off camera at something we cannot see. Behind her are two other female actors, both dressed similarly to her

The Crown star plays the leader of The Forty Elephants, an all-female gang that pilfered the city, in Steven Knight’s upcoming series A Thousand Blows. “I had no idea they even existed,” Doherty admits. “I can't believe that we haven't - even in the smallest of history classes - heard about these women… I just couldn't get my head around it!”
