My Take

Charlotte Riley strikes me as quietly underrated, and I keep waiting for the wider recognition to catch up. From Grindon in the north of England and a Durham University graduate, she gave a brooding, fully felt Catherine in ITV's Wuthering Heights that has stayed with me. What raises my regard is that acting is only half of it: she's also credited as a playwright and writer, an artist who can shape her own words rather than only speak others'. Grounded across stage, film and television, she favors substance over the awards circuit, the kind of actor who lets the work talk. I'd happily watch her keep building, slowly and well.

Overview

Charlotte Frances Riley (born 29 December 1981) is an English actress. She is known for her roles as Sarah Hurst in Easy Virtue (2008) and as Catherine Earnshaw in ITV's adaptation of Wuthering Heights (2009).
