For some of you, before Wicked's Elphaba and Glinda entered our consciousness...there was Felicity Jones in the TV series The Worst Witch...the double Oscar nominee's first starring role before spending a decade as Emma Carter in The Archers.
Born in Birmingham, down the road from Ambridge, it was in a galaxy far, far, away that she cemented her place in Hollywood in Rogue One: A Stars War Story
Her most recent role in The Brutalist has earned her a supporting actress BAFTA and Oscar nomination and she credits her drive to being raised by a working single mother.
As a mother herself now...her Inheritance Tracks have charmingly familial feel.
Inherited: Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading
Passed on: Pressure Drop by Toots and the Maytals
Producer: Ben Mitchell and Anna Bailey
