The Beauty of Retrospect, March Actress Edition: Rosamund Pike

I first featured Rosamund Pike in August 2015, and the British actress has done a lot of movies since then.


One of her roles in the past three-and-half-years was as a suicidal widow who joins an Indian-fighting group after Comanches murder her family in the 2017 Western Hostiles.

Two of her more recent pats, however, have been in politically charged movies about the Middle East.  In 2018's Beirut, she played a CIA agent trying to ensure the success of a former diplomat's mission to save a former colleague, opposite Jon Hamm as the ex-diplomat with the mission.  And in 2018's A Private War, she plays the late journalist Marie Colvin, who was killed in 2012 in Syria while covering that country's civil war (still in progress).

Rosamund Pike, who turned forty in January 2019, has no intention of slowing down.  Later in 2019, she stars as Marie Curie in the biographical film Radioactive. :-)
