33 | !!Tropes associated with her roles include: |
34 | * CastingGag: Her mother had played Theo in the 1970s version of ''Literature/BalletShoes''. Emilia plays Sylvia in the 2007 version. |
35 | * DawsonCasting: She was 20 when she played 15/16-year-old Georgiana Darcy in ''Pride and Prejudice'', though she was fairly convincing as a girl in her late teens. She wasn't so convincing in the flashbacks where Georgiana is 12/13, but in that case she only had a few seconds of screentime. |
36 | * DeletedRole: She played Creator/LynneFrederick in ''Film/TheLifeAndDeathOfPeterSellers'' but most of her scenes were deleted. |
37 | * DyeingForYourArt: Normally a blonde, she dyed her hair red for ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs''. |
38 | * FakeNationality: Polish in ''Film/ThePianist''. |
39 | * HideYourPregnancy: During Season 3 of ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}'', resulting in wearing a long grey cloak and standing behind various bits of furniture. At one point Uther is kneeling in front of her and it's his ''head'' that's hiding the bump. |
40 | * PlayingAgainstType: Normally wholesome and sympathetic Woobies, Emilia has gone against type before: |
41 | ** Morgause in ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}'' is a manipulative LadyOfBlackMagic. |
42 | ** Serial killer Rosie Byfield in the miniseries ''Fallen Angel''. |
43 | * PublicExposure: [[http://fishlove.co.uk/collections/emilia-fox.html Has posed naked with a cuttle fish]]. |
44 | * RealLifeRelative: |
45 | ** She plays the daughter of her real-life father Edward Fox in ''The Republic of Love''. |
46 | ** She and her mother Joanna David starred together in ''Series/PrideAndPrejudice1995''. |
47 | ** Retroactively in ''Things To Do Before You're 30'' - where she starts with sister-in-law Creator/BilliePiper (Billie would later marry Emilia's cousin Laurence Fox). |
48 | * ThoseTwoActors: |
49 | ** She's appeared with Creator/CharlesDance in ''Henry VIII'', ''Series/{{Rebecca|1997}}'' and ''Fallen Angel''. |
50 | ** She and Creator/KatieMcGrath played sisters in both ''The Queen'' (no [[Film/TheQueen not that one]]) and ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}''. |
