Lee premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023 but will hit UK cinemas on September 13. 

During filming, Kate personally paid all the crew’s salaries for two weeks due to ‘precarious’ financing. 

In August, it was revealed that Kate will be heading to Australia to further promote the film. 

Lee was directed by Ellen Kuras and was written by Liz Hannah, John Collee, and Marion Hume.

It is based on The Lives Of Lee Miller by Antony Penrose, 76, the son of Lee and Sir Roland Penrose.

Lee died in 1977 in East Sussex at the age of 70.

Kate told Vogue: ‘Lee was a woman who lived her life on her terms and she paid a horrific emotional price for all of it.

‘I wanted to tell the story of a flawed middle-​aged woman who went to war and documented it.’

Antony said: ‘When I saw Kate all those years ago in Titanic, what I loved was that she wasn’t afraid to get wet, to get dirty, to fall in the water, to get roughed up. 

‘I thought she would make a fantastic Lee Miller.’
