Olivia Colman is an absolute powerhouse actress who has starred in The Crown, Fleabag, Broadchurch alongside David Tennant and many more.
The Academy Award winning actress is nominated again for her role as Leda in 2021's The Lost Daughter, after previously winning an Oscar for Best Actress in 2019 for her role in The Favourite.
The 48-year-old actress, who is on track to win her second Oscar in the Best Actress category, started off her career in comedy and insurance ads.
Like most actors, Olivia didn't just waltz into big budget Hollywood products, she made a name for herself in the UK starring in Peep Show and Hot Fuzz.
Here's a little insight into Olivia's career so far..
Olivia had ambitions of being an actor from a young age, like “a secret dream, like talking to animals”, she told Forbes.
On her road to fame, the mother-of-two had trouble with studying before landing her breakout role in Peep Show.
“I had to go back to school for an extra year as I did so badly in my final exams,” the kooky actress told The Hollywood Reporter .
“No uni would have me. So I went to Homerton in Cambridge [to become a teacher] but didn’t last there for very long [because] I wasn’t very good at studying.”
However, after two years studying at Bristol Old Vic drama school, she discovered life as a working actor was not going to be easy.
“I worked as a temp and cleaner for quite a long time but then Lindy King from what was called PFD took me on from the show at the end of drama school so had her on my side,” Colman recalls.
“She was putting me up for all sorts but I wasn’t getting any auditions.”
In spite of all the knock backs, she was determined to battle on.
“I was never crushed [by disappointment] because I knew I couldn’t do anything

Jacobi, 83, took over for Season 3, portraying the royal in his older years.George VI and King Edward VIII famously had a contentious relationship, with the latter abdicating the throne after less than a year in power back in 1936 so he could marry his beloved Wallis Simpson.
