British actress Lily James

Pictures of Lily!  (Sorry, couldn't resist . . . )


Lily James is a British actress known for highbrow projects and clever action movies.  She's best known to viewers of public television as Lady Rose MacClare in "Downton Abbey."  But she's also known for her star turn in the movie Baby Driver, as the girlfriend of a young man who drives getaway cars for bank robbers and relates a great deal to pop music.  Ms. James's character is a waitress that the young man falls in love with.


Other roles include Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet at London's Garrick Theatre and Countess Natasha Rostova in the 2016 BBC adaptation of Tolstoy's "War and Peace."

Oh yeah, she also played Cinderella in Disney's 2015 live-action version of that fairy tale.

Not yet thirty as of this writing, Lily James is definitely an actress with a brilliant future.
