My Take
Anne-Marie Duff is the kind of actress I think of as a craftsman first. She built her reputation on television in Shameless and The Virgin Queen, both earning BAFTA nominations, but it's the long stage career that really defines her for me - the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Actress isn't handed out lightly. Then in 2024 she won the Supporting Actress BAFTA for Grace Williams in Bad Sisters, proof she only sharpens with time. Born in Chiswick in 1970, she's never chased the spotlight, and I find that restraint compelling. She lets the roles do the talking, which is exactly why they keep landing.
