Felicity Jones
Felicity Rose Hadley Jones (born 17 October 1983) is an English actress. She began acting as a child, appearing in The Treasure Seekers (1996) and playing Ethel Hallow for one series of the television series The Worst Witch (1998). She then appeared in the films Northanger Abbey (2007), Brideshead Revisited (2008), Chéri (2009), and The Tempest (2010), and starred in the Donmar Warehouse production of The Chalk Garden (2008).
Jones received praise for her performances as an exchange student in the romantic drama Like Crazy (2011), teacher Jane Hawking in the biopic The Theory of Everything (2014), and a Holocaust survivor in the period drama The Brutalist (2024). The latter two performances received Academy Award nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. She also portrayed Jyn Erso in the space opera Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the biopic On the Basis of Sex (2018).
Jones's other films include the superhero feature The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), the thrillers True Story (2015) and Inferno (2016), the fantasy drama A Monster Calls (2016), and the streaming films The Aeronauts (2019), The Midnight Sky (2020) and The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021).
Felicity Rose Hadley Jones was born in Birmingham on 17 October 1983, and grew up in Bournville. Her mother worked in advertising and her father was a journalist. They separated when she was three years old and she and her elder brother lived with her mother.
One of her great-great-grandmothers was Italian and hailed from Lucca. Her uncle Michael Hadley is also an actor, which prompted Jones's interest in acting as a child.
After Kings Norton Girls' School, Jones attended King Edward VI Handsworth School, to complete A-levels and went on to take a gap year (during which she appeared in the BBC series Servants). She then studied English at Wadham College, Oxford. She appeared in student plays, including Attis in which she played the titular role, and, in 2005, Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors for the Oxford University Dramatic Society summer tour to Japan, starring alongside Harry Lloyd.
Jones began acting at the age of 11 at after-school workshop Central Junior Television, which was funded by Central Television. At age 14, she appeared in the first series of The Worst Witch. When Weirdsister College began in 2001, Jones returned as Hallow. Her longest-running role around this time was on the BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers, where she played Emma Carter until 2009.
In 2003, she starred as Grace May in the BBC drama Servants. She took the leading role in the 2007 ITV adaptation of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, and starred in Polly Stenham's That Face at the Royal Court Theatre in April 2007.
