Karen Gillan is set to play Jean Shrimpton in a new single drama called We'll Take Manhattan.
It explores the love affair between the sixties 'It' girl Jean Shrimpton and fashion photographer David Bailey. Set predominantly in 1962, the couple first met on a Vogue photo shoot in New York. It shows them falling madly in love and accidentally changing the world forever.
Alexa Chung counts Jean as one of her style icons!
Karen said: "Jean Shrimpton is an icon of the Sixties and I am so excited to be playing somebody who had such a lasting impact on the fashion world. I can't wait to take on the challenge of bringing Jean and Bailey's fascinating love story to life. Sixties here I come!
