Vanessa Jane Kirby is an English stage, TV, and film actress. She is known mostly for her stage work; Variety in 2016 called her “the outstanding stage actress of her generation, capable of the most unexpected choices.”
Kirby was raised in Wimbledon, London. Vanessa Redgrave and Corin Redgrave, notably celebs, were family friends.
In 2011, Kirby made her television début in the BBC’s The Hour, alongside Ben Whishaw, Dominic West, and Romola Garai. She played Estella in the BBC’s mini-series adaptation of Great Expectations alongside Ray Winstone, Gillian Anderson, and Douglas Booth.
She filmed The Rise in early 2012 alongside Matthew Lewis and Timothy Spall. The film premièred at the Toronto and London Film Festivals to positive reviews and won the Best Debut Category for director Rowan Athale.
Her recent film roles include Kill Command, the Wachowskis’ Jupiter Ascending, with Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum, and Queen and Country, John Boorman’s sequel to his Hope and Glory (1987). In 2015, she had a role in Working Title’s Everest, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, and Keira Knightley, playing the iconic American socialite Sandy Hill Pittman.
In May 2015, it was reported that Kirby was cast as Princess Margaret after a six-month search, in Netflix’s first original British series The Crown written by Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Daldry. She was nominated for the BAFTA in 2017, and then went on to win the BAFTA for her performance in season two in 2018.
She has continued to show success for The Crown as she has received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2018.
