It's official....Holliday Grainger is one of the new Brit movie clique - 'The Corset Crew'!



    It is one hundred percent official...Holliday Grainger is a member of the new British movie clique called 'The Corset Crew'. She is surrounded by a group of friends that all belong to a specialist crowd of actors & actresses, such as Douglas Booth, Freddie Fox (pictured directly behind Miss Grainger), Ellie Kendrick, Vanessa Kirby (the current TV Estella), Jeremy Irvine, Sam Claflin, Kaya Scodelaario, Tamsin Egerton. To the left of Holliday are two of her friends/co-stars: Alexandra Roach, who has been working alongside her on the new movie version of 'Anna Karenina', and Tamzin Merchant, who starred alongside Holly in 'Jane Eyre', as well as being the new girlfriend of Freddie. This is a far cry from the days when she was commonly associated with the northern acting scene. Now, she is one of the new gathering of potential A-listers that will ensure that the movie costume drama is here to stay.

The long road to stardom......








   If any British-born child actress can claim to have taken a long road to stardom, which has seen them go through childhood and adolescence, culminating with entry into womanhood, then Holliday Grainger certainly can. It has taken from her to a child of six acting in a TV comedy drama to a Hollywood leading lady-in-waiting, as his been stylishly and visibly displayed when she walked down the red carpet last Sunday at the 2012 Orange BAFTA Film Awards. However, if this doesn't put her on Hollywood's radar, her portrayal of Estella in the forthcoming movie adaptation of 'Great Expectations' [production images of her as Miss Havisham's adopted daughter coming soon] surely will. After 18 years of being a working actress, we might well be seeing referring to her as a movie superstar from now on.

No interview in InStyle March 2012 issue......

Sorry to have to report that the March 2012 issue of InStyle magazine does not have an interview with Holliday Grainger. Hopefully, they will have one in the April edition. If they don't do a feature on her in that issue either, then I will complain. I will keep you posted on any such developments.
