The outspoken actress who played Strawberry Fields in "Quantum Solace" is in some respects very similar to her character in the movie as she is unafraid to voice her opinion and did so prior to entering the awards ceremony when she noted that she believes the roles in theater are better for women than those in film. This is a semi-controversial statement who will be star in the dramatic movie "Gemma Bovery" and is signed on to be the star of the dramatic thriller movie "The Keys to the Street" that is in the process of pre-production.
The focus of this talented acting star has however been on the stage in 2014 as she recently completed performing the starring role in "Duchess of Malfi" and is currently in intense preparation for the musical adaptation of "Made in Dagenham". Her starring role in "Made in Dagenham" will stretch her abilities to their maximum as she will have to sing for at least one hour in each of the 8 performances that take place during the week.
