"Thank you for trusting me to be your Martha," Jessica Gunning says accepting Emmy for role in "Baby Reindeer"
Jessica Gunning wins outstanding supporting actress in a limited series or TV movie at the 76th Emmy Awards for her twisted role in “Baby Reindeer.”
“Oh my goodness me. Blinking heckers, thank you so much,” Gunning began her remarks. “I’m so proud to be a part of ‘Baby Reindeer,’” she said.
Gunning then gave an emotional nod to creator of and lead actor in the show, Richard Gadd.
“Thank you for trusting me to be your Martha. I will never ever forget her or you,” she said.
More on the show: “Baby Reindeer” is a dramatized version of real events that happened to Gadd. In the show, Gadd’s character, Donny, meets Martha at the pub where he bartends. After he offers her tea on the house, Martha begins to stalk and harass Donny, sabotaging his life.
“Baby Reindeer” has topped most-watched lists worldwide since its debut in April, generating headlines and speculation about the characters and who inspired them. Gadd’s story is real, but he says the version that appears in his thriller miniseries has been altered for artistic and privacy reasons.
