Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

To loyal fans her finest performance came during that infamous late-night camcorder session filmed by her former lover John Leslie. Then there was her stand-by-your-man appearance outside Southwark Crown Court wearing the low-cut dress and crucifix necklace.

But now Abi Titmuss, the former nurse turned pin-up, is to tread the boards in a West End play. Titmuss, 29, is to play a prostitute called Angie in Arthur Miller's Two-Way Mirror at Covent Garden's Courtyard Theatre from 2 March. The drama comprises two single-act plays, Elegy for a Lady and Some Kind of Love, exploring themes familiar to Titmuss's admirers - love, sex, obsession and desire.

Titmuss said: "It's been a lifelong ambition of mine to star in a play in the West End so this is a dream come true."

The play's director, Mike Miller, said of the woman once voted Britain's most pointless celebrity: "Given the events of her extraordinary life, and as a modern-day icon, Abi was born to play the part of Angie."
