She has appeared in many movies, both televised and theatrically released, but she's probably best known for one movie so far - 2011's Like Crazy. She played Anna, a British college exchange student in Los Angeles who falls for an American student. She decides to stay with him in LA for the summer, after graduation . . . unaware that her visa expires as soon as she gets her degree.
Ms. Jones' performance in this movie earned her Empire Award for Best Female Newcomer, a National Board of Review Award for Breakthrough Performance, and a Sundance Film Festival U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Prize for Breakout Performance. The Detroit Film Critics Society Award nominated her for both a Best Actress award and a Brekathrough Performance award.
More recently, she played Charles Dickens' secret mistress, Nelly Ternan, in The Invisible Woman. Ralph Fiennes, who directed, also played Dickens.
