She was also a campaigner in the progressive dress reform movement.As per Variety, 'An Ideal Wife' is being produced by Olivier Delbosc at Paris-based Curiosa Films, Chris Curling at Zephyr Films in the U.K. and Matthew Gledhill at Wheelhouse Productions.The film will mark Clarke's first big screen credit since the 2019 holiday romcom 'Last Christmas' directed by Paul Feig.
