Rosamund Pike
In 1979, in
London, England, actress Rosamund Mary Elizabeth Pike was the only child of a
classical violinist mother, Caroline (Friend), and an opera father of a singer,
Julian Pike. Her childhood was spent traveling across Europe because of the
work of her parents. Pike was a student at Bristol's Badminton School and
started acting at the National Youth Theatre. Pike was only 23 when she
appeared in "Romeo and Juliet" at the National Youth Theatre. She was
then noticed by an agent and signed. Although it was a big-budget action film
however, the following was primarily in smaller, independent films, including
Promised Land (2004), The Libertine (2004), (for which she won the Best
Supporting Actress award at The British Independent Film Awards) and Pride
& Prejudice (2005), as one of the Bennet daughters. Following the
action movie, Doom (2006) and the suspense film Fracture (2007), Pike had a
brief appearance in Hollywood film. But, she returned to films of a smaller
scale with extraordinary performances in three films: An Education (2008) as
well as Made in Dagenham (2010) and the lead role alongside Paul Giamatti in
Barney's Version (2010). In 2012, Pike portrayed the role of Andromeda in the
sci-fi epic Wrath of the Titans (2012). Pike was back in action films as the
main actress, playing Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher (2012).
