Personal Quote:

It's not the big American films that I want to do. It's the independent American cinema, directors like Charlie Kaufman, Drake Doremus, and Derek Cianfrance. Equally there are many Europeans, like Paolo Sorrentino, that I'm completely obsessed with. So I think you have to find your tribe in a way. See more »

Trivia:

Nominated for the 2018 Emmy Award in the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category for her role as Princess Margaret in The Crown (2016), but lost to Thandiwe Newton from Westworld (2016). See more »
