Hayley Elizabeth Atwell (born 5 April 1982) is an English-American actress, known for her work in stage productions such as A View from the Bridge, and in films such as Cassandra's Dream, The Duchess and Captain America: The First Avenger. Atwell was born in London, the only child of Allison (née Cain), a motivational speaker, and Grant Atwell, a massage therapist, photographer, and shaman. Atwell's mother is English and her father, an American from Kansas City, Missouri, is of part Native-American descent. Atwell has dual citizenship of the U.K. and the U.S. Her parents separated when she was two years old. After secondary education at Sion-Manning Roman Catholic Girls' School, West London, Atwell took A-levels at the London Oratory School and trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama graduating in 2005. Her first feature film role was in Woody Allen's 2007 film Cassandra's Dream, in which she took the part of a stage actress opposite Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell. In 2008, she appeared in the film The Duchess as Bess Foster and the film Brideshead Revisited as Lady Julia Flyte, earning praise and nominations from the British Independent Film Awards and the London Critics Circle Film Awards. In January 2009, Atwell made her West End début in Lindsay Posner's revival of A View from the Bridge at the Duke of York's Theatre which earned her a Laurence Olivier Award nomination. Atwell appeared as "415" in AMC Television's November 2009 miniseries, The Prisoner, a remake of the 1967–68 series by the same name. Atwell played Agent Peggy Carter in the 2011 superhero film Captain America: The First Avenger.[8] MTV Networks' NextMovie.com named her one of the 'Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011'. Please God, no more red lipstick!’ Hayley Atwell drops her head into her hands in mock despair. When she looks up again, the beautiful mouth that is the source of so much frustration has split her face into a dimply grin. It is easy to see why it has generated so much attention; it is a megawatt sort of a mouth. Lauren Bacall had one, Hedy Lamarr had one, Cate Blanchett has one. 'Hayley is a star in the old-fashioned sense of the word,’ says the author William Boyd, in whose Channel 4 adaptation of his own novel Any Human Heart Atwell’s bombshell 1940s glamour was mesmerising. Atwell, 29, has been playing period beauties fairly solidly since graduating from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama six years ago. These include Julia Flyte in Julian Jarrold’s 2008 film version of Brideshead Revisited; Bess Foster – the third person in the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire’s marriage – in Saul Dibb’s The Duchess; Mary Crawford in Mansfield Park; and Freya, the love of Logan Mountstuart’s life, in Any Human Heart. On stage, too, her roles have tended towards the old-school: she has been in Thomas Middleton’s Jacobean tragedy Women Beware Women at the RSC, George Etherege’s Restoration comedy The Man of Mode at the National Theatre, and Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge (for which she was nominated for a 2010 Olivier Award). So when the chance arose to play a gun-wielding sex bomb in Captain America, this summer’s Marvel Comics adaptation, Atwell jumped at it. 'And then I read the script and realised that it was set in the 1940s!’ A cinch-waisted, khaki-clad pin-up in the vein of an Indiana Jones heroine, Peggy Carter is a recruitment officer who falls for Captain America, an army reject who has taken part in a special experiment and been transformed into the perfect fighting machine. 'She’s sexy and feisty,’ Atwell enthuses. 'She’s immaculately beautiful but she’s also a fighter and incredibly strong. Because of that, she carries a certain amount of frustration, knowing that, if she’d been born a man, she could have been a great soldier.’ To prepare for the role, Atwell embarked on an intensive training programme. Working out for four hours a day, six days a week, and sticking to a rigid high-protein diet, she dropped a dress size. 'I felt better than I’ve ever felt in my life,’ she says. 'What struck me most, though, was the powerful effect that it had on my mind. I felt so awake, and so alive, with such a good energy. Plus, I was able to recover from hangovers much quicker.’ Open and vivacious, Atwell is good company. Questions are answered politely and thoughtfully, but always with a twinkle of mischief. 'The main reason I did Captain America was because I wanted to get out of my own head and stop taking my work so seriously. I’d had enough. I was like, “I want to train! I want to be a supergirl! I want a machine gun! I want to look fabulous and be surrounded by hunky bare-chested men! I want to make a movie that people come away from feeling amazing and invincible! I want to be Wonder Woman!” Actually, seriously, I really do want to be Wonder Woman one day…’ Recalling her five months spent working on Captain America, a $150 million film so shrouded in mystery that even its stars haven’t been allowed to see it, Atwell describes having entered almost a parallel universe.
