Rosamund Pike’s biography
The cold porcelain beauty of this British actress in combination with her temperament and deep dramatic talent has the effect of a bomb. Rosamund Pike has tried images of different characters.
Childhood
Rosamund Mary Ellen Pike was born on January 27, 1979. Her parents are famous musicians. Julian is an opera singer, a professor of music and head of operatic studies at the Birmingham Conservatoire. Mother Caroline is a violinist.
Rosamund received her education in one of the best private schools for girls. Thanks to her parents, the girl grew up in a creative atmosphere: Rosamund learned to play the piano and cello and achieved great success, receiving a diploma of a teaching musician.
Since childhood the girl was fond of theater and literature. She took part in all school plays and at the age of 16 she shone on the stage of the National Youth Theater.
After school Rosamund entered the English Literature course at Oxford, where she became friends with Chelsea Clinton. Rosamund's performances in the student theater left no doubt that the girl would become an actress.
Beginning
Rosamund's first appearance in cinema took place in the 1998 television comedy drama A Rather English Marriage . The rather small role in which the girl appeared, marked the birth of a star. Just a year later Rosamund took part in the Wives and Daughters series and played one of the lead roles in the Love in a Cold Climate multi-part television project. Megan Dodds and John Light worked along with the actress in the project.
In 2002 Rosamund put on the image of the girlfriend of agent 007. The role of James Bond in one of the most brilliant parts of the bondian Die Another Day was played by Pierce Brosnan. Many explicit scenes of Brosnan and Pike were cut from the picture, which, however, did not prevent viewers from appreciating the beauty and sexuality of the aspiring actress.
The Libertine drama, which tells about one of the most odious and contradictory characters in the British historical scene, Lord John Wilmot, was released in 2004. The bisexual loving poet was performed by Johnny Depp, and Rosamund appeared in the image of Elizabeth Malet, who supported Wilmot’s views on free love and later became his wife. Samantha Morton, Kelly Reilly and John Malkovich also appeared in the picture.
In 2005 Rosamund took part in two very different pictures. Though Rosamund performed secondary roles in both, she earned the approval of critics and the recognition of the audience. In the Pride and Prejudice traditional Victorian drama considered the best screening of Jane Austen, her partners were Matthew Macfadyen, beautiful Keira Knightley, also Donald Sutherland and legendary Judi Dench. In the Doom fantastic horror film based on the game of the same name, the young actress played Dr. Grimm, and was accompanied by Dwayne Johnson, Ben Daniels and Karl Urban.
Between 2006 and 2010 the actress managed to play in more than ten films, and though her popularity overgrown the limits of her native Britain, she was not offered lead roles. However, as cinema experts noted, Rosamund gave charm to each film she participated in with her delicate play. The Fracture detective psychodrama, where the actress played Nikki, the unfaithful spouse of the character of Anthony Hopkins, and the Fugitive Pieces tragic picture stand out in particular among pictures of the period. The film starred Stephen Dillane and Ayelet Zurer.
Rosamund showed her many-sided talent starring in the Barney's Version tragicomedy, which earned many awards and even an Oscar nomination. The actress appeared in the image of the last wife of Barney, suffering from dementia in the picture. She was accompanied on the set with Dustin Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and Scott Speedman.
Best roles
Even with her aristocratic beauty and bright dramatic talent Rosamund simply couldn’t become a star of first magnitude. In 2011, selecting actors for his new project Wrath of the Titans, famous Jonathan Liebesman gave the role of Andromeda to the young British actress. Clemence Poesy and Georgina Haig claimed the role, but the director chose Rosamund, for whom the image became the first lead role in her filmography. Based on ancient Greek myths, the drama starred Sam Worthington, Bill Nighy, Sinead Cusack, and Liam Neeson.
In 2012 Rosamund played in a duet with Tom Cruise in the Jack Reacher action thriller film. Rosamund played the District Attorney Rodin’s daughter Helen in the picture. Richard Jenkins and legendary Robert Duvall also starred in the film based on the works of Lee Child. The film has become one of the most popular films of 2012. However, general success was awaiting Rosamund ahead.
In 2013 Pike appeared in the role of a fatal beauty in The World's End hooligan comedy from the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, which tells about friends, who avoid death by participating in an alcomarathon. The alcoholic friends were played by Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan and Nick Frost.
The next undoubted acting success was the actress’s participation in The Devil You Know female detective drama. The actress played a duet with Lina Olin in the intriguing and beautiful picture, where Jennifer Lawrence also starred.
The next film released at the end of 2014 became an event in the world of cinema and brought Rosamund Pike world fame and recognition.
