Happy Birthday Florence Pugh: Remembering Everytime the Actress Stole Our Hearts

English actress Florence Pugh walked into the industry in 2014 with the Carol Morley mystery drama The Falling and has not looked back since as she continues to impress us with stellar performances as time passes. The actress has already starred in almost 14 films and worked for major television series including Marvel’s Hawkeye. Our phase 4 Black Widow Yelena Belova adds another year to her talented life on January, 3 and what better time than this day to celebrate the star.

From receiving a British Independent Film Award to having an Academy and BAFTA nomination to her name, Florence Pugh has time and again proved her range and brilliance to us on screen. Let us have a look at the Trophée Chopard recipient’s most groundbreaking performances to date.

Top 3 Flims Where Florence Pugh Stole Our Hearts

Lady Macbeth

The 2016 British drama titled Lady Macbeth by director Willian Oldroyd stars Florence Pugh as Katherine Lester, the central protagonist of the story based on the novella Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District by Nikolai Leskov.

Midsommar

Ari Aster’s 2019 folk horror film under the banner of A24 production house needs on new introduction. Midsommar received enough praise and has become a cult horror classic in a very short period of time and one major fact was Florence Pugh’s groundbreaking performance. Revolving around the terrifying rituals and cultural aspects of a Scandinavian pagan cult, Pugh devotes herself to the script to let the sun in her shine. Watch the teaser for the film below.

Little Women

Over the years, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has been adapted quite a few times on screen but, nothing stands out as beautifully as Greta Gerwig’s 2019 coming-of-age period drama adaption. Chronicling the lives of the four March sisters, it was Saoirse Ronan as Jo March who stole the show. But no one can deny the powerful impact Florence Pugh’s Amy March brought on screening giving her one of the best character arcs to fulfil. You can check out the trailer for the film below.

Recently, Pugh was impressive in Marvel’s Black Widow and Hawkeye and fans are expecting to see more of her in the phase 4 projects by the studio. You can read our review for the Hawkeye series and more, here. To learn more about the actress, you can follow her now on @florencepugh.
