My Take
Pippa Harris is the kind of figure I admire most: a builder who works behind the camera rather than in front of it. Co-founding Neal Street Productions with Sam Mendes and earning a damehood, she rose from script editor through development roles at the BBC into producing. That trajectory tells me she understands stories from the inside out. The work of spotting talent and shaping it into something the world actually sees is unglamorous yet utterly essential. As an Aries, she seems to have a pioneer's instinct for backing new voices. I have deep respect for people who quietly construct the foundations others stand on.
