Miriam Margolyes Reveals £570,000 Cameo Haul And Candid Health Struggles

Her remarks highlight how paid video messages can bolster income for older actors.

Overview

  • The 84-year-old told The Romesh Ranganathan Show she has earned about £570,000 on Cameo since joining in 2020.
  • She said she charges £100 per personalised video and that many requests now ask for advice or short pep talks.
  • Margolyes contrasted that with the roughly £60,000 she says she was paid for playing Professor Sprout in two Harry Potter films.
  • She described ongoing health issues that affect daily tasks, including a long-standing rotator cuff injury that makes fastening a bra difficult and pelvic-floor weakness that causes incontinence.
  • She noted she underwent an aortic-valve replacement in 2023 and revisits her day-to-day limitations in her documentary Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me.
