Hayley atwell

Hayley Elizabeth Atwell was born on April 5, 1982 in London, England. She is the only child, her father is American, with indigenous blood, a shaman, her mother is English, a motivator by profession; so she has dual nationality and a peculiar background. The marriage broke up when she was only two years old, she would stay with her mother, whom she defined as “a seeker of the truth.” She therefore studied in London both at the college and at the Guildhall School, where she acquired theatrical training. Of her varied concerns, her university studies in philosophy and theology at King’s College give an idea of ​​her.

Hayley’s first credited job is a commercial for Pringles potatoes. It wasn’t the most exciting thing in the world, but it was a start. Without being disgusted by anything, she will find opportunities to start and grow as an actress in theater, television and cinema. British serials are an excellent field for attention, and Atwell succeeded in Mansfield Park (2007) , which adapts the well-known Jane Austen novel . Paradoxically, it will be Julia Flyte in the transition to the cinema of a masterpiece of television, Return to Brideshead (2008), which adapts the great novel by Evelyn Waugh . She did a good job, but she got caught up in an expendable version of the immortal story.

Atwell defined his acting work as “telling stories about people we don’t necessarily have time for, or don’t want to meet, or are afraid of… Acting is a way of letting go of fear of the unknown.”

In any case, Hayley’s thing was to arrive and start chaining jobs with astonishing ease. Woody Allen asked her for Cassandra’s Dream (2007), her best film. And she endured the pull of some great actresses – Vanessa Redgrave , Imelda Staunton , Brenda Fricker – in her look at old age in The Greatness of Living (2007). Another supporting role she teamed up with Keira Knightley in a period film, The Duchess (2008). Her classic face seems to love the camera to tell past stories, so that in a new step on TV, she had a relevant role in the medieval plot of The Pillars of the Earth(2010), adaptation of Ken Follett ‘s best-seller . Undoubtedly, this has been decisive for Joe Johnston to have her in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), it fits perfectly with the retro air of the adventures of the superhero soldier, and also allows him to compose a strong woman and female. The first Hollywood foray has been successful, and I have no doubt that more than one producer has realized Atwell’s magnetic potential.

In theater he has focused his activity on the London scenes, drawing attention to his work in “Panorama from the bridge”, according to the work of Arthur Miller . Atwell is very discreet about her private life, although she is associated with the television writer Gabriel Bisset-Smith.
