Meet the Strong Women (COPPER Making Of)

Go behind the badge of BBC America’s COPPER – and get up close and personal with Elizabeth Haverford and Eva Heissen, the powerful females at the heart of this compelling all new original series.

“I think it’s important as women that we look back to the women who really began to get us our own independence, and someone like Elizabeth Haverford is that woman.” So says Anastasia Griffith (Royal Pains, Damages), who plays Elizabeth, the sophisticated, beautiful & British wife of Robert Morehouse (Kyle Schmid, Blood Ties).

PLUS: get to know Eva, a shrewed businesswoman who is the Madam of Eva’s Paradise, played by Franka Potente (The Bourne Supremacy, Run Lola Run). Says Franke, “We learn how aggressive and dangerous she can be if someone doesn’t obey her rules! … I love that about her.”
