Who is Hayley Atwell?

Born as Hayley Elizabeth Atwell on the 5th April 1982 in London, England, she is a Golden-Globe Award-nominated actress, probably best known to the world as Peggy Carter in the “Captain America” films, and the lead role in the TV series “Agent Carter”. Aside from the screen, Hayley has also worked on stage and radio.

Early Life, Parents, Siblings, and Education

Hayley is the only child born to Grant, a part Native American originally from Kansas City, Missouri, and his wife, Alison, who is British. Hayley’s parents divorced when she was only two years old, and her father returned to the US to pursue his Native American roots, while Hayley and her mother remained in the UK. Despite the separation, Alison and Grant remained in touch, and Hayley would spend summers in the US, but as time passed, she developed a closer relationship with her mother. Hayley went to Sion-Manning Roman Catholic Girls’ School in London, and later she took A-levels at the London Oratory School. Hayley received an offer from Oxford University to read theology and philosophy, but her A-Level results weren’t good enough, so she took two years off from education, and chose to travel with her father, finding a place as a help for a casting director. She returned to school by enrolling at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, staying for three years before graduation.

Career Beginnings

Hayley’s on-screen career had already started; she was chosen for Pringles potato crisps television commercial, with the earnings from which she used to pay for her school. She then focused on her education, and after graduated started auditioning for stage, TV and film roles.

She began on stage, with the role of Io in the play “Prometheus Bound”, and has continued in parallel by also appearing in screen roles, but her most successful so far has been the role of Catherine in the play “A View from the Bridge”, performed at Duke of York’s Theatre, which was her West End debut. Hayley made her screen debut in 2005, with the part of Sabrina Guinness in the television film “Whatever Love Means”, while in 2007 she had her first starring role, as Angela Stark in Woody Allen’s romantic drama film “Cassandra’s Dream”, next to Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor.

Rise to Prominence

The following year, Hayley played Bess Foster in the film “The Duchess”, while she was also chosen for the part of Lady Julia Flyte in the Miramax film “Brideshead Revisited”, for which initially the producers and casting director told Hayley to lose some weight, but after she was advised by fellow actress Emma Thompson, Hayley decided not to succumb to their comments, and eventually producers accepted Hayley for who she is, an actress, not a model. She continued her acting career, making her way to the top of Hollywood by in the next few years having several notable roles, such as Aliena in the romantic drama film “The Pillars of the Earth” (2010), while in 2011 she made her breakthrough with the part of Peggy Carter in the sci-fi action adventure film “Captain America: The First Avenger”, starring Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving and Samuel L. Jackson. She played Peggy Carter in sequels “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in 2014, and the film “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), while she also had the lead role in the TV series “Agent Carter” (2015-2016).

1[on Alexi Kaye Campbell's play "The Pride"] They are two scenes that are either side of the sexual revolution, and two very different ways that society deals with homosexuality. In 1958, it was still illegal and then in 2013, we've just had this wonderful milestone of legalising gay marriage. So it's about how society shapes gay identity and it explores the idea of a subculture which society has imposed upon the gay community, one of promiscuity, and it says there is another side which is about intimacy and love between two people.
2The scary thing is what that will do to a generation of young people [in Russia] who are having these thoughts and feelings towards members of their own sex but they're given no reference point that this is OK. This is just part of who they are and I think you'll get a lost generation of children growing up feeling that their country is telling them that this fundamental aspect of who they are is wrong. It's incredibly troubling because it's happening, not just in Russia, but in countries like Georgia and Cameroon and the statistics in this country of homophobic attacks is frightening.
3We heard about the protest in Whitehall in support of Russian gay rights and we went along and it was very moving and we felt it was very positive.
4I think it will be a balance of creative and commercial choices, going forward. People say critical acclaim and box office success don't go hand in hand and that may be true but I don't really think I'd live much on the salary of a full-time theatre actor. I mean, I could, but I really like going out to dinner...
5[on her character in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)] Peggy was in a position where if she was a damsel in distress, she wouldn't be of that position. And when she says, "I know what it's like to have a few doors slammed in my face," I think because she's this attractive woman who's beautifully made up, she had to fight a little bit harder to get where she is to prove that she's capable. And I think that's great because there's a kindred spirit between her and Steve, there's an equality about them and I love that.
6[on Brideshead Revisited (2008)] What attracted me was I loved the vivid characters that had obviously come from a very rich novel and Jeremy Brock and Andrew Davies had put that into the script. The character definitions and the stage directions were very rich and as rich as the dialogue so I felt that there was a hell of a lot of passion behind it. I'm attracted to flawed characters. I think they're really interesting to play. I was really intrigued who this enigmatic Julia was and what was bubbling and going on beneath the surface. So it was probably that.
7My first job was a Greek tragedy, and ever since, one job just seemed to roll onto the next. I've been terribly lucky.
8Nude scenes can be very liberating. I feel very human. This is me, with all my little imperfections.
