Carey Mulligan

Mulligan's breakthrough came in 2009 with An Education, a coming-of-age film where she played a 1960s schoolgirl, winning the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role and earning her first Academy Award nomination. She has since appeared in a wide range of films, including Never Let Me Go, Drive, Shame, The Great Gatsby, Inside Llewyn Davis, Far from the Madding Crowd, Suffragette, Mudbound, Wildlife, and She Said. Her portrayal of a vigilante in Promising Young Woman (2020) brought her a second Oscar nomination, and her role as Felicia Montealegre in Maestro (2023) earned a third. Recent projects include Spaceman, The Dig, and The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025), for which she also served as executive producer.

Beyond film, Mulligan has received recognition for her stage work, including a Tony nomination for the Broadway revival of Skylight and a Drama Desk Award nomination for The Seagull. In 2025, she was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to drama. She has been an ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society since 2012 and for War Child since 2014. Mulligan is married to Marcus Mumford; they have been together since 2011 and married since 2012, raising a family of three. Standing at 5'7" with blonde hair, she continues to take on diverse roles. Upcoming projects include the second season of Netflix's Beef and a role in Greta Gerwig's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew.
