Felicity Jones Remembers Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a ‘Beacon of

Felicity Jones, who portrayed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the large display in 2018’s “On the Basis of Sex,” on Saturday keep in mind the late Supreme Court justice for her “razor-sharp wit and extraordinary humanity.”

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave us hope, a public figure who stood for integrity and justice- a responsibility she did not wear lightly,” Jones stated in an announcement Saturday. “She will be missed not only as a beacon of light in these difficult times but for her razor sharp wit and extraordinary humanity. She taught us all so much. I will miss her deeply.”

The justice and feminist icon died resulting from issues from metastatic pancreas most cancers Friday. She was 87.

Jones mentioned making ready to play RBG at TheWrap’s Power Women’s Summit in Los Angeles in 2018, and the way she, a British actress, was capable of step into the position of an American icon. Jones stated she was capable of flip her nationality into one thing that might join her to Ginsburg moderately than separate them, and that the script, written by Ginsburg’s nephew, Daniel Stiepleman, made the method even simpler.

“I’m British, and I’m an outsider, and that’s what she felt starting her career as a lawyer,” Jones stated. “She too was an outsider, so psychologically that was my first root in.”

“On the Basis of Sex” focuses on Ginsburg’s experiences at Harvard Law School and a number of the early circumstances towards intercourse discrimination that she argued earlier than the Supreme Court.
