  • Trivia
    One of her favorite experiences from the production of Anna Karenina (2012) was the filming that took place in the countryside outside of St. Petersburg, Russia. The temperatures dipped to -40 °C, and for five days she stayed in a cabin that didn't have hot water and only had benches instead of beds. Russian security guards protected her and co-star Domhnall Gleeson from wolves and bears that dominated the deserted area.
  • Quotes
    I'd love to continue to work in Europe and the US. What I'm looking for is the right film and if that's a big studio film, or a tiny film being shot in a few days in Europe, that's not what I'm thinking about--it's about the project and who I'm going to do it with.
