“Bridgerton” has been a global television phenomenon for more than six years, thanks in part to British actor Adjoa Andoh. She has described her role playing Lady Danbury in the Shondaland creation as “life changing.” The character is best known for stealing scenes with her sharp wit and no-nonsense wisdom. In this conversation with Mishal Husain, Andoh takes us behind the scenes of “Bridgerton” season four and shares how she has shaped Lady Danbury over the years, from her backstory to jewelry and even her hats.
