5 | Before that however, she was a relatively obscure actress, appearing in movies like ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch'' and the short-lived BBC revival of ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs''. (Though fantasy fans may remember her as the intimidating Adora Belle Dearheart in the TV adaptation of Terry Pratchett's ''Film/GoingPostal'', and she also registered for some watchers as Anne Boleyn in ''Series/WolfHall''.) ''Series/TheCrown2016'' changed all that, with her winning an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and two Screen Actors Guild awards for the role; she then demonstrated the ability to switch accents as Neil Armstrong's wife Janet in ''Film/FirstMan''. |

31 | !!Tropes: |
32 | * DyeHard: She is a brunette but she dyed her hair blonde including for her role in ''Unsane''. She also dyed her hair reddish-blonde to play Diane Cavendish in ''Breathe''. |
33 | * TheOtherDarrin: Replaced Creator/RooneyMara as Lisbeth in ''The Girl in the Spider’s Web'', as Mara declined to reprise the role. |
34 | * PlayingAgainstType: She’s mostly known for playing regal or EnglishRose type characters, though that's largely an accident related to a couple of big parts; her range also encompasses the sexy-psychotic Adora Belle Dearheart and the brittle all-American Janet Armstrong, after all. Anyhow, her next big role? [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Salander]]. |
35 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Met her ex-husband Stephen Campbell Moore on the set of ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch''. They married in 2014 and have a daughter but divorced in 2018. |
36 | * SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Her as Queen Elizabeth II and Creator/VanessaKirby who plays her sister Princess Margaret on ''The Crown'' look like they could be related. |
37 | * StarMakingRole: To say Queen Elizabeth in ''Series/TheCrown2016'' is a star-making role for her is an understatement. |
