Vanessa Kirby is one of the most prominent names in her generation thanks to her varied acting choices. The 35-year-old British actress starred in four different works, including Specters, by Henrik Ibsen, A Midsummer Night's Dream and They Were All My Children.

Kirby is the daughter of Roger Kirby, a renowned prostate surgeon, researcher, writer and president until 2024 of the Royal Society of Medicine. Despite being born into a more than wealthy family, Kirby's childhood was not a bed of roses.
