The Queen’s Gambit to Emma: 8 Best Anya Taylor-Joy Movies and TV Shows

Anya Taylor-Joy is receiving praise for her latest performance in George Miller’s Mad Max prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. It has only been a decade since she burst onto the silver screen. And yet, in such a short span, she has emerged as one of Hollywood’s finest young talents. From Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit to Peaky Blinders, here’s a look at some of the best performances by Anya Taylor-Joy in movies and TV shows.

Born on 16 April 1996 in Miami, Florida in the United States, she has a diverse heritage. Her father was Dennis Alan Taylor, a banker with Argentine with English and Scottish roots, and her mother was Jennifer Marina Joy, an English-Argentine psychologist. Her multicultural upbringing helped Taylor-Joy grow into the versatile actress she is today with a rising net worth.

While her first-ever acting job was a one-episode appearance in ITV’s 2014 detective drama series Endeavour, it was not until she appeared in Robert Eggers’ landmark horror movie The Witch (2015) that she really made the world sit up and take notice. In the movie, she plays the role of Thomasin, a young girl from a small community of English Puritan settlers in New England who gets accused of witchcraft. Her performance in this movie is nothing short of spellbinding and mature way beyond her years — she was just 19 then.
