Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge is an English actress, writer, and producer who has risen to international prominence for her unique and witty work. Born on July 14, 1985, in London, England, she attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Early in her career, she co-founded the theater company DryWrite with Vicky Jones, an endeavor that helped her channel her creative frustration with the limited roles she was being offered. This led to the creation of her one-woman stage show, Fleabag, which she first performed in 2013 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.The play's success led to its adaptation as a television series for the BBC in 2016. Waller-Bridge wrote and starred in Fleabag, a dark comedy about a young woman navigating grief, love, and family in London. The show received widespread critical acclaim and became a cultural phenomenon, earning her three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes, and a BAFTA. In addition to Fleabag, Waller-Bridge is also known as the creator, writer, and executive producer of the first season of the spy thriller series Killing Eve (2018), which earned her Emmy nominations. She has also contributed to major film franchises, co-writing the screenplay for the James Bond film No Time to Die (2021) and starring in Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) as the droid L3-37 and in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) as Helena Shaw. Her upcoming projects include the film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
