Early-life:
Carey Hannah Mulligan was born in Westminster, London, on May 28, 1985. Her father is a hotel manager and her mother is a university lecturer. She has an older brother, Owain. Her father's work took her family to Germany when she was three and she was eight when she moved back to England. Her first taste of acting was in the chorus during her brother's school production of The King and I when she was six. Several years later, a dinner event for aspiring actors held by Julian Fellowes and his wife Emma led to Carey catching the attention of a casting assistant. From this, Carey was invited to audition for a role in Pride & Prejudice (2005); she successfully landed the role of Kitty Bennet.
Career:
Other TV work followed with roles in Bleak House, The Amazing Mrs Pritchard, Agatha Christie's Marple, Waking the Dead and a standout performance in an episode of Doctor Who. An Academy Award nomination for her role in An Education (2009) elevated her to the world stage and she has never looked back. Since then she has starred in a number of independent and big-budget films, including Public Enemies (2009), Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010), Never Let Me Go (2010), Drive (2011), Shame (2011), The Great Gatsby (2013) and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013).
Quote:
On being an actress: "My parents were completely against it. They wanted me to go to a university. They didn't know any actors; no one in my family was an actor. They were scared."
