67!!This actress provides examples of:
68* BoyishShortHair: For her role in ''Restless'' her hair was cut to a pixie style.
69* DyeingForYourArt: Dyed her hair dark for ''Film/{{Stoker}}'' and ''Film/MapsToTheStars''.
70* FakeNationality: Her roles tend to be a FakeAmerican or a FakeBrit. Averted in ''The Double'' and ''Tracks,'' where she gets to use her natural accent.
71* ProtagonistTitle: She played the titular ''Alice in Wonderland'' and ''Jane Eyre''. ''Stoker'' also counts since it's a FamilyTitle movie.
72* StarMakingRole:
73** Playing [[Film/AliceInWonderland2010 Alice Kingsleigh]] in what became a billion dollar-grossing film gave her quite a sizeable boost.
74** She also got some notice a little earlier on for ''Series/InTreatment'', where she, as an elder teenager, managed to hold her own against Creator/GabrielByrne.
