Childhood

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge) is a London native, born on July 14, 1985, as the middle child in the distinguished family of Michael and Theresa Waller-Bridge.

The actress's ancestry includes several notable historical figures, politicians, and statesmen on both her father's and mother's sides who left their mark on British history.

Phoebe received the classical education typical of English aristocratic families. Her childhood was spent in West London, but she and her younger sister Isobel attended a private Catholic girls' school following their parents' divorce.

According to the star, she always dreamed of becoming a comedic actress and loved making her classmates laugh, but her natural shyness held her back. To overcome this shyness, Phoebe began taking acting classes. After graduating from boarding school, she studied at West End College before enrolling at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

Early career

In 2009, the young actress made her television debut with episodes of the series How Not to Live Your Live and Doctors.

According to Zoomboola.com, in 2011, Phoebe joined the cast of the drama film, Albert Nobbs, acting with such film stars as Glenn Close, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Brendan Gleeson.

That same year, she had a small role in the Margaret Thatcher biographical drama The Iron Lady, starring Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent, before appearing in the sitcom The Café.

Best works

Her character - the nameless owner of a tiny café who desperately tries to mask her vulnerability behind a façade of strength and independence - catapulted the young Englishwoman to global stardom. Despite its abundance of crude humor and deliberately shocking sexual content, the wickedly subtle 2016 series Fleabag became Phoebe's calling card - she didn't just star in it, but also wrote and directed the entire show.

Phoebe's sister, Isobel wrote music for the series. The project also starred Olivia Colman as the despotic stepmother of Phoebe's character, Bill Paterson as her meek father, Andrew Scott, who stunned audiences as the devastatingly attractive priest, as well as Kristin Scott Thomas, who delivered a pitch-perfect performance as a glamorous, imperious businesswoman.

The series was nominated for the BAFTA film award and received numerous prestigious awards, launching its creator to international stardom.

In the series Crashing, Phoebe played the unhinged girlfriend of Damien Molony's main character. Phoebe's distinctive writing style caught Netflix's attention - she'd penned the entire series script in under a year.

Phoebe's next triumph was the darkly comic thriller Killing Eve, which cemented her reputation as both a brilliant screenwriter and visionary showrunner. In this grandiose project, the leading roles were played by Sandra Oh and young star Jodie Comer, who became popular after the release of the television miniseries Thirteen.

The cat-and-mouse game between detective and psychopathic assassin captivated audiences, weaving together conspiracy theories and homages to Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King, all underscored by the characters' electric mutual attraction. Even the harshest critics couldn't find fault with the series - a testament to Phoebe's exceptional talent.
