Maestro: How Carey Mulligan turned supportive wife into leading lady

Carey Mulligan plays the composer's wife, Felicia Montealegre , in the new film.

The British actress said the writing of her role in the film was "fleshed out" and "feminist statement" Mulligan said she has "resisted playing the wife to the great man" in previous films.

The film has earned seven Oscar nominations, including best actor and actress nods for Cooper and Mulligan respectively.
