Big, expressive eyes like Anya Taylor-Joy’s appear to contain the whole universe. Only ten years have passed since her big screen debut. She has nonetheless become one of Hollywood’s best young talents, if not the best, in such a short amount of time. Let’s examine some of Anya Taylor-Joy’s top roles in films and television series.
She was born in Miami, Florida on April 16, 1996, and comes from a mixed ancestry. Her mother, Jennifer Marina Joy, is an English-Argentine psychologist, and her father, Dennis Alan Taylor, is an Argentine banker of English and Scottish ancestry. Taylor-Joy’s multicultural upbringing seems to have contributed to her development into the talented actress she is today with a growing net worth.
Although she had a one-episode role in the 2014 police drama series Endeavour on ITV, it wasn’t until she starred in the seminal horror film The Witch (2015) directed by Robert Eggers that she really garnered attention. She portrays Thomasin in the film, a little child from a tiny New England village of English Puritan settlers who is falsely convicted of witchcraft. Considering that she was just 19 at the time, her performance in this film is nothing short of captivating and mature beyond her years.
