Felicity Jones

The multi-Oscar nominated actor on the soundtrack to her life.

For some of you, before Wicked's Elphaba and Glinda entered our consciousness...there was Felicity Jones in the TV series The Worst Witch...the double Oscar nominee's first starring role before spending a decade as Emma Carter in The Archers.

Born in Birmingham, down the road from Ambridge, it was in a galaxy far, far, away that she cemented her place in Hollywood in Rogue One: A Stars War Story

Her most recent role in The Brutalist has earned her a supporting actress BAFTA and Oscar nomination and she credits her drive to being raised by a working single mother.

As a mother herself now...her Inheritance Tracks have charmingly familial feel.

Inherited: Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading
Passed on: Pressure Drop by Toots and the Maytals

Producer: Ben Mitchell and Anna Bailey
