Charity Wakefield, Star of Tomorrow?
ScreenDaily.com has named Charity Wakefied as one of their UK Stars Of Tomorrow 2007. But I think we all know she is already a star!
CHARITY WAKEFIELD
Expect to hear a lot more of Charity Wakefield over the comings months. She plays Marianne Dashwood in the BBC’s prestigious autumn series Sense And Sensibility, and the role is likely to propel her right into the spotlight. It comes after several solid performances on the stage, including the verbatim play about the London bombings, Yesterday Was A Weird Day, which played at the Edinburgh festival to wide critical acclaim, and the Old Vic’s 24 Hour Plays last year.
On Sense And Sensibility, Wakefield and her co-star Hattie Morahan, who plays her sister Elinor, were encouraged to make their characters real people, “not historical figurines stuck in corsets”. A fan of Dogme films – which she says “bridge the gap between theatre and film” – Wakefield is now filming the BBC’s modern retelling of the Rapunzel fairytale, in which she plays the lead.

Hey Alice… Huh?
Charity, I loved you in Sense and Sensibility. So cute! Are you ever gonna do anything over in the US? At any rate, I’m sure I’ll be seeing you on screen again soon. You were awesome, Jane Austin would be proud!

I’m not a fan as such (not that I dislike her either) but i am curious; there’s a photo of someone modelling a hoodie for plainlazy on their website that looks remarkably similar to charity wakefield, and I want to know if you think I’m right.
