British actress
Born: February 23, 1983
Emily Blunt, in full Emily Olivia Leah Blunt, (born February 23, 1983, London, England), British-American actress who was known for her crisply delineated characterizations of women from all walks of life. Her scene-stealing performance in The Devil Wears Prada (2006) garnered popular and critical acclaim, and she soon landed lead roles in a wide range of movies, including the period piece The Young Victoria (2009).
Blunt was the second of four children born to a former actress and a lawyer. She overcame a stammer by participating in acting exercises and found a home on the stage. She had initially intended to become a live translator for the United Nations. However, Blunt’s appearance in a student production of the musical Bliss (2000) at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival brought her to the attention of an agent, and she soon appeared opposite Judi Dench in a West End production of The Royal Family in 2001. The next year, Blunt starred as Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet at the Chichester Festival. After appearing as Isolda in the Boudicca biopic Warrior Queen (2003), she assumed supporting roles in several television productions, among them Foyle’s War (2003), Empire (2005), and Gideon’s Daughter (2005). She earned a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress in a television series, miniseries, or movie for the latter role. Her performance as a young lesbian in the feature film My Summer of Love (2004) was praised for its nuance and sensitivity.
