5 ACTRESSES TO KNOW
Margaret Qualley, Lashana Lynch + more
March is women’s history month. While International Women’s Day (March 8th) fell on daylight’s savings this year, thus diminishing the day by one hour, at least we still get the whole month of March. In honor of that, let’s take a look at 5 actresses you should get to know this year.
ALEXA DEMIE
This 25-year-old has only been acting professionally since 2015, but she has quickly proven that she is someone to watch. After landing guest spots on Ray Donovan, Love, and The OA, Demie landed a main role on the HBO series Euphoria and roles in the movies Mid90s and Waves. In addition to being a talented actress, she is also a singer and songwriter.
JULIA FOX
Fox won the Breakthrough Actor Award at the 2019 Gotham Awards for her feature film debut in the Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems. In the film Fox played a showroom saleswoman and the mistress to the movie’s protagonist, Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler). Prior to her acting career, Fox worked as a dominatrix, playboy model, fashion designer, painter, and photographer.
LASHANA LYNCH
Lynch first gained world-wide recognition for her role as fighter-pilot Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel. After that she was cast as Nomi in the upcoming James Bond movie, No Time To Die. What’s so exciting about her role in the new Bond film is that her character is another M16 agent, and in Bond’s retirement, she takes on the mantle of 007.
MARGARET QUALLEY
She may be the daughter of Hollywood star Andie MacDowell, but Margaret Qualley has quickly proven she is a talent in her own right. She first gained recognition for her role in the HBO series The Leftovers. Her biggest successes came this past year with an Emmy nomination for her role in the FX series Fosse/Verdon and with her role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
TAYLOR RUSSELL
Russell first gained attention when she landed a main role on the Netflix series Lost in Space. She went on to get leading roles in the feature films Escape Room and Waves. For her role in Waves she was honored with the Virtuoso Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
