‘The Crown’ star, 58, reveals surprising menopause symptom — and why she refuses to get work done

Olivia Williams, 58, says menopause has affected her memory, making it harder to recall people’s names. The British actor also discussed the pressure to consider cosmetic surgery as she ages, explaining that regularly seeing herself in the make-up chair has helped her face her appearance without turning to a surgeon.

Williams was speaking at the premiere of *The Good Daughter*, a Peacock miniseries starring Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy, based on Karin Slaughter’s 2017 novel. She praised its women-led cast and crew; Slaughter, whose books have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, said her loyal readers have given her room to take creative risks.
