The 35-year-old actress is also a producer on her TV show 'The Handmaid's Tale' and feels a sense of "responsibility" to make sure the set is a safe environment for the cast and crew.

She said: "I don't tolerate that kind of behaviour regardless, whether it be as an actor or a producer and I never have.

"But I do think there's a certain amount of responsibility as a producer to make sure we have a safe working environment. And I do feel maybe a little extra responsibility being that I am a female producer."

Elisabeth is proud that the dystopian drama has connected with so many people around the world.

She said: "The thing that means the most to me that people say is that it gave them some sort of strength or some sort of bravery. Maybe they're going through something in their own country, whether they're a woman or whether they're gay or whatever it is. They watch the show and it gave them some sort of strength to be who they are and to not give up on who they are."

And the award-winning actress admitted she never expected the drama - which is based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name - to be so successful.

She said: "You don't ever think that you're going to have this kind of success for something."

The former 'Mad Men' star feels working on the show is a "great privilege".

She shared to OK! magazine: "In my work, I have the privilege of being able t get up and go do what I love the most and make a living at it.

"Every once in a while, when I feel a little bit tired, I remind myself that it's a great privilege to be able to do that and to be able to tell the stories that we tell on this show. It's cathartic."
