His Dark Materials: Where You Recognise The Cast From
10. Anne-Marie Duff - Ma Costa
Most of Anne-Marie Duff's career has seen her play accomplished, prim and proper ladies with a touch of class. It's ironic then that she remains best know for the decidedly not prim and proper Fiona Gallagher in Shameless, alongside His Dark Materials star James McAvoy.
If you take that anomaly out, you can see a clear pattern in Duff's roles. Given how fantastic she was as Fiona though, taking the anomaly out would be a 'ahem' shame.
If it's not from Shameless though, you may well recognise Duff as Violet in Suffragette, Julia in John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy or Queen Elizabeth in The Virgin Queen. More recently, she played the lead character in From Darkness, as well as supporting roles in the esteemed movies On Chesil Beach and Before I Go To Sleep, with her role in Suffragette sandwiched in between.
Prior to those, you might know her from Notes On A Scandal, Doctor Zhivago or Parade's End. Let's be honest though: it's probably Shameless.
