Winner of awards including the Emmy and Golden Globe, Patricia Clarkson is best known for films like Pieces of April (Academy Award nomination), The Station Agent, The Green Mile, Learning to Drive, Far From Heaven (NY Film Critics Circle Award for Supporting Actress), All the Real Girls (Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival), Lisa Cholodenko’s High Art (Independent Spirit Award nomination), Whatever Works, and Good Night and Good Luck. Her theater career includes a Tony nomination for her performance in The Elephant Man alongside Bradley Cooper.

Lilly, directed and co-written by Rachel Feldman, is an inspirational biopic. Clarkson plays Lilly Ledbetter, the Alabama Goodyear factory worker, wife and mother who rose to prominence as an activist for women’s pay equity. After years of discrimination, she engages lawyer Jon Goldfarb (Thomas Sadowski), who supports her all the way to the Supreme Court – as does her husband (John Benjamin Hickey).
