In this dark, gory, pop-horror fantasy set in the 1960s, she plays a sexy, badass apprentice singer who ends up selling her body under the influence of a Machiavellian manager, rather than performing. <strong>Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong> demonstrated phenomenal charisma, while showing she could both sing and dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This versatility is not new. Moving from one adventure, or country, to another seems to be in her genes. Born in Miami, <strong>Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong> grew up with five siblings. Her mother, a psychologist of Spanish and English descent, was born in Zambia. Her father, a former Argentine-Scottish banker born in Buenos Aires, changed his life to devote himself to motor boating.

Like a fairy godmother, he introduced her to his agent. <strong>Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong>\u2019s got a mixed debut, with a modest appearance in the low-budget horror comedy <em><strong>Vampire Academy <\/strong><\/em>(2014).

She was seen in the fantasy series Atlantis (2014), the horror film The Witch (2015), which revealed her to the general public, the science-fiction feature film Morgane (2016) and then in the biopic Barry&nbsp;(2016), which tells the story of Barack Obama&#8217;s youth. The winner of the Troph\u00e9e Chopard (at Cannes, in 2017) almost always attracts the admiration&nbsp;of critics&nbsp;with her inhabited acting and hypnotic gaze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mutinous, youthful, graceful and&nbsp;sometimes exuding a fascinating darkness, the actress&#8217;s strange, retro, very old Hollywood beauty evokes at once a blonde version of Christina Ricci, a hidden daughter of Mia Farrow and a modern Bette Davis. All of which attracted her to heroine roles with a gothic aura, such as that of a teenage victim of a kidnapper with multiple personalities in M. Night Shyamalan &#8216;s thriller Split (2017), or haunted appearances in the Spanish horror film The Secret of the Marrowbones (2017) or the moving historical mini-series Miniaturist (2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CVcbEv5IMRe\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\"><a style=\"background: #FFFFFF; line-height: 0; padding: 0 0; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; width: 100%;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CVcbEv5IMRe\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See this post on Instagram<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CVcbEv5IMRe\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A publication shared by Dior Official (@dior)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Peaky Blinders<\/em>, <em>Dune<\/em>, <em>Furiosa<\/em>\u2026 Film productions with a distinctive universe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After starring in <em><strong>Radioactive<\/strong><\/em> (2020), <strong>Marjane Satrapi<\/strong>&#8216;s biopic about Marie Curie, in the fifth season of the cult series <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/cillian-murphy-the-rise-of-the-peaky-blinders-hero-2\/\">Peaky Blinders<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>(2019) alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/movies\/discover-the-first-images-of-peaky-blinders-starring-cillian-murphy\/\"><strong>Cillian Murphy<\/strong><\/a>, and in a new Jane Austen adaptation, <em><strong>Emma<\/strong><\/em> (2020), nothing seems to be stopping the actress.
