Carey Mulligan
Radiant and ethereally beautiful, Carey Mulligan has enchanted the public ever since she received an Oscar-nomination for her performance in An Education, which turned her into an instant star. Yet the 32-year-old confesses she spent much of her twenties struggling to be as self-assured and forceful as she would have liked.
She even wondered whether her screen performances were as good as the critics professed, but after scoring a massive victory on the New York stage in David Hare’s Skylight – opposite Bill Nighy – coupled with rave reviews for her work in Thomas Vinterberg’s screen adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd, and a blazing performance in Suffragette, surely even Mulligan couldn’t doubt her exceptional talent?
