Anna Rust (born 3rd May 1995) is an English actress and filmmaker. She's perhaps best known for her roles as Khava Bazaeva in Season 2 of thriller series Legends and Fleury in fantasy series Carnival Row.
Due to her parents' work requiring extensive travel, growing up Rust lived in and attended schools in Berlin, Kyiv and Budapest, before settling back in England as an adult. She began acting as a child, making her television debut in the 2002 miniseries adaptation of Doctor Zhivago and her film debut in the 2005 fantasy movie The Brothers Grimm; she has stated that appearing in Doctor Zhivago is what made her want to pursue acting as a career. She returned to acting in her late teens, appearing in both film and television productions. She's also done voice-over work for video games and wrote, directed and starred in the 2021 short film Satiety.
