Early life and education

Carey Hannah Mulligan [1] was born on 28 May 1985 in London, [2] to Nano (née Booth) and Stephen Mulligan. Her father, a hotel manager, is of Irish descent and is originally from Liverpool. [3] Her mother, a university lecturer, is from Llandeilo, Wales. [4] [3] [5] [6] Her parents met while they were both working in a hotel in their twenties. In the television series My Grandparents' War (2019), Mulligan explored her maternal grandfather Denzil Booth's role as naval radar artillery officer on HMS Indefatigable at the Battle of Okinawa and then sailing into Tokyo Bay at the end of World War II. [7] When Mulligan was three, her father's work as a hotel manager took the family to West Germany. While living there, she and her brother attended the International School of Düsseldorf. [8] When she was eight, she and her family moved back to the UK. As a teenager, she was educated at Woldingham School, an independent school in Surrey. [9]

Her interest in acting sparked from watching her brother perform in a school production of The King and I when she was six. During rehearsals, she pleaded with his teachers to let her be in the play. They let her join the chorus. [10] While enrolled in Woldingham School as a teen, she was heavily involved in theatre. She was the student head of the drama department there, performing in plays and musicals, conducting workshops with younger students, and helping put on productions. [11] [12] When she was 16, she attended a production starring Kenneth Branagh. His performance emboldened her and reinforced her belief that she wanted to pursue a career in acting. She wrote a letter to Branagh asking him for advice. "I explained that my parents didn't want me to act, but that I felt it was my vocation in life," she said. Branagh's sister replied: "Kenneth says that if you feel such a strong need to be an actress, you must be an actress." [10] Mulligan's parents disapproved of her acting ambitions and wished for her to attend a university like her brother. At age 17, she applied to three London drama schools instead of the universities she was expected to apply to, but was not invited to attend them. [10]

During her final year at Woldingham School, screenwriter Julian Fellowes delivered a lecture at the school on the production of the film Gosford Park . Mulligan briefly talked to him after the lecture and asked him for advice on an acting career. Fellowes tried to dissuade her from the profession and suggested she "marry a lawyer" instead. Undeterred, she later sent Fellowes a letter in which she stated she was serious about acting and that it was her purpose in life. Several weeks later, Fellowes's wife Emma invited Mulligan to a dinner she and her husband were hosting for young aspiring actors. It facilitated an introduction between Mulligan and a casting assistant that led to an audition for a role in Pride & Prejudice. She auditioned three times, and was eventually given the role of Kitty Bennet. [10] [6] [13] [14] During her late teens and early twenties, she worked as a pub barmaid and an errand-runner for Ealing Studios between acting jobs. [13] [15]

Career

2004–2008: Early work

In 2004, Mulligan made her stage debut in the play Forty Winks at the Royal Court Theatre in London. [16] [17] She made her film debut the following year in Joe Wright's 2005 film adaptation of the Jane Austen novel Pride & Prejudice , portraying Kitty Bennet alongside Keira Knightley. Later that year, she won the role of orphan Ada Clare in the BAFTA award-winning BBC adaption of Charles Dickens' Bleak House , her television debut. [18]

Among her 2007 projects were My Boy Jack , starring Daniel Radcliffe, another Jane Austen adaptation, Northanger Abbey , starring Felicity Jones, and the Doctor Who episode "Blink", which won her the Constellation Award for Best Female Performance in a 2007 Science Fiction Television Episode. [19] She rounded out 2007 by appearing in an acclaimed stage revival of The Seagull , in which she played Nina alongside Kristin Scott Thomas and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The Guardian called her performance "quite extraordinarily radiant and frank." [20] While in the middle of the production, she had to have an appendectomy, preventing her from being able to perform for a week. [21] For her debut Broadway performance in the 2008 American transfer of The Seagull, she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award, but lost to Angela Lansbury for Blithe Spirit . [22]

In Shame she played the neurotic and unstable Sissy, the sister of the sex addict played by Michael Fassbender. For her performance in Shame, she received critical praise as well as a nomination for the BIFA for Best Supporting Actress.

[46] She followed the production when it transferred to Broadway at the John Golden Theatre in April 2015. The transfer was a massive success with Marilyn Stasio of Variety declaring that the two central performances left the audience "breathless — and wondering how they can sustain this level of emotional intensity throughout the show’s 13-week Broadway run." [47] The play won the Tony Award for Best Revival and she earned her first Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play. [48] [49]
