Carey Mulligan, an Unaffected and Rising Star

The tides are turning and American film producers are looking for natural, unbotoxed and talented actors and actresses. Whew. Finally. Unfortunately, they've had to look across the Pond, for too many of Hollywood's young elite are starting to resemble a cross between Barbi and Ken.

Stepping up to the plate is fresh-faced Carey Mulligan, already on a spectacular career trajectory with an Oscar nomination and BAFTA for her performance in An Education. This article from the Daily Mail describes her meteoric rise and why she is the real deal. It describes in great detail how Carey landed her first role as Kitty Bennet in Pride and Prejudice 2005.

Carey has been signed to play Eliza Doolittle in Emma Thompson's remake of My Fair Lady. She is also a heartbeat away from getting the lead role in The Girl With the Dragoon Tattoo. Click here to read The Miseducation of Carey Mulligan.
