New Photoshoot & Article!

I have found another pretty picture from our most recent photoshoot set, which dates from March this year. I have also found an online article that goes along with it, original from ES Magazine.

Felicity Jones, meanwhile, is described by the actor Matthew Goode (who plays her fiancé in Cemetery Junction) as having ‘an Audrey Hepburn quality’. Felicity, 26, may be an ethereal brunette, with a petite, balletic frame, but unlike Audrey Hepburn, she can do a top-rate rural accent. For years she appeared on The Archers as Emma Grundy, Ambridge’s scarlet woman. ‘Emurr’ formed a love triangle with feuding brothers Ed and Will Grundy, which luckily resolved itself at around the same time that Felicity needed to focus on studying English at Oxford. Plum roles followed: Catherine Morland in the BBC‘s Northanger Abbey and the Hayley Mills character, Laurel, in The Chalk Garden at the Donmar Warehouse, for which she won a nomination for the Evening Standard Milton Shulman Award for Outstanding Newcomer.

In person she is friendly and quick to laugh. ‘I haven’t!’ she cries when I accuse her of having lost her native Brummie accent. ‘You still get the odd tone coming through if you listen carefully.’ While still fond of the Midlands where her parents live, she is now based in
Bethnal Green, where the café at the Museum of Childhood is a favourite place to hang out and read scripts, when she isn’t rummaging for clothes in charity shops. ‘As I get more grown up I’m trying to acquire some more “classic” pieces,’ she says. ‘But then the other day I found a great vintage £5 coat…’ Off-duty, after the shoot, she throws on her grandmother’s pearls and a full, netted polka-dot skirt. ‘I don’t know if it’s too out-there,’ she says doubtfully, though she looks fabulously bohemian. Her long-term boyfriend is Edward Fornieles, a young artist and founder of The Wallis Gallery, an East London showcase for emerging fine artists. ‘It’s really nice to be exposed to a completely different world to film,’ she says. ‘What they do is art in its purest form.’

Felicity has just finished playing Miranda in Julie Taymor’s forthcoming adaptation of The Tempest, filmed on the island of Lana’i in Hawaii. (Full Article)
