My Take

Jemima Kirke fascinates me because she never seems to be performing in the conventional sense. As Jessa in Girls she radiated a careless, dangerous freedom that no one else could have made so magnetic, and it helped that she's a painter first. People who move fluidly between acting, directing, and visual art usually just see the world differently, and that shows in her choices. I love that she made her film debut as a favour to a childhood friend rather than through ambition. For me she's a genuine artist whose way of living is more compelling than any single credit on her résumé.

Overview

Jemima Jo Kirke (born 26 April 1985) is a British-American artist, actress and director. She gained international acclaim through her role as Jessa Johansson in the 2012 HBO series Girls. She made her film debut in the 2005 indie short Smile for the Camera and her feature-length debut in Tiny Furniture (2010), as a favour for her childhood friend Lena Dunham.
