Future Women's History Month: Felicity Jones' Upfront Feminism
Fuse is celebrating Women's History Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Women's History before our eyes. Today we're highlighting the successes of British actress Felicity Jones.
Jones started her acting career at the age of 12, starring in British films and TV before studying English at Wadham College, Oxford. While there, Jones continued to flex her acting muscles by pursuing theater work. After graduating, Jones jumped back into acting and gained widespread acclaim for her role in 2011's indie romance drama, Like Crazy. The film was made on a shoestring budget (Jones did her own hair and makeup) with completely improvised dialogue, earning her a Special Jury Prize at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
Since then, her star power has only grown: She starred opposite Eddie Redmayne in 2014's The Theory of Everything, where she portrayed Jane Wilde Hawking. The role landed her Best Actress nominations from the Academy Awards, BAFTA, Golden Globes and SAG. Her most recent endeavor was starring as Jyn Erso in 2016 Star Wars' standalone movie Rogue One.
