KATE MARA
Anyone who’s watched Netflix’s wonderful series House Of Cards will be familiar with actress Kate Mara’s incredible ability to flash from childlike vulnerability to impenetrable steeliness in a matter of frames. Playing feisty young journalist, Zoe Barnes, who ends up embroiled in a dangerous love affair with a duplicitous US Congressman, played by Kevin Spacey, Mara captures perfectly the vigour and naivety that made Zoe so disarming, but ultimately led to her character’s tragic demise.
