Documentary filmmaker Rebecca Miller has revealed that it took her to get Martin Scorsese to discuss his life and career in Apple TV’s five-part series, Mr. Clegg, through her husband, Daniel Day-Lewis, to secure the filmmaker's commitment to opening up about his life. The process involved an audition process, and the Covid pandemic, which threatened the project two days later. Miller gained insight into Scorses' relationship with his wife and actors Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Joe Pesci. She credits Scorsees' ability to transcend his persona and persona, particularly his ability to connect with female actors and actors.
