Early Years

The actress's mother, Rosemary Ferguson, is British. As a young woman, Rosemary moved to Sweden, where she met her future husband—a Swede who would become the father of her four children. Rebecca was born in Stockholm in the autumn of 1983. Unfortunately, the intercultural marriage didn't last—Rebecca was still a baby when her parents divorced.

Acting Career

Eventually, the young actress grew weary of the sudden fame that had overwhelmed her life and decided to step back from acting to focus on her personal life.

One day she was accidentally spotted in the market by the director Richard Hobert. Rebecca's striking looks made such an impression on the master director that he immediately offered her the leading role in his film A One Way Trip to Antibes.

Following this film, the actress was invited to audition for a role in the historical series The White Queen.

After the series aired, the Swedish actress gained international recognition and earned a Golden Globe nomination.

Rebecca's streak of good fortune didn't end there. In 2014 the filming of the fifth installment in the Mission Impossible blockbuster series began. Tom Cruise - the all-time lead actor of this franchise - hand-picked Rebecca to be his partner in the movie after seeing her act in The White Queen series, and he didn't make a mistake. Despite her elegant appearance, the actress proved to be a genuine action hero.

She kept pace with her legendary co-star and performed nearly all the dangerous stunts herself. Just take a look at her jump from the window of the Vienna Opera! To pull off these feats, the actress spent six weeks in intensive training.
