Born in London, UK, Hayley has dual citizenship of the UK and the US. An only child, Hayley was named after Hayley Mills. Her parents, Grant and Alison, both motivational speakers, met at a London workshop of Dale Carnegie's self-help bible 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. He was born in Missouri and is of part Native-American descent; his Native American name is Star Touches Earth. Her parents divorced when she was age 2. Her father returned to America and Hayley remained with her mother in London, but she spent her summers in Missouri with her father. Hayley's mother saw theater as an important communal experience, so she was introduced to theater from a young age. At age 11, she had memorable trip to see Ralph Fiennes playing Hamlet. She would later work with him on The Duchess (2008). She went to Sion-Manning Roman Catholic Girl's School in West London where she excelled academically. She took her A-levels at the private London Oratory School. She took two years out of her education, traveling with her father and working for a casting director. In 2005, she graduated from The Guildhall School of Music and Drama with a degree in Acting. Hayley began her career with parts on a few BBC television productions. Her first big break came in the TV mini-series, "The Line of Beauty" (2006). The following year, she got her first film role in How About You... (2007). She followed this with Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream (2007). Her breakthrough role came 2 years later in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Studied at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama (2002-2005). Age 9, she walked over hot coals at a 'Power Into Action’ workshop that she attended with her mother. As a teenager, she went on anti-vivisection and Free the Dolphins marches. She became a committed vegetarian, at age 8, after seeing 'Lloyd Grossman' put a live lobster into boiling water. Her father is a shaman. 'I couldn’t believe the scale of it. It was insane.’ Much more daunting than the work was the pressure not to divulge any of the film’s secrets. 'Every day, when I got my script changes, they would have hayley printed all over them. That way, if I left them on a bus, the studio could blame me for blowing the film’s cover.’ On the eve of Captain America’s release, Atwell finds herself at an exciting point in her working life. In her relatively short career, she has played her hand well; choosing the interesting roles and, most crucially, making the most of her porcelain good looks without ever cashing in on them. Much has been made of her voluptuous sensuality, and yet Atwell has never gratuitously revealed an inch of flesh. 'I’ve always been a big believer in what you don’t see being much sexier than what you do see,’ she says. 'Do you know what? I don’t think I’m curvaceous. It’s simply that most other actresses are really, stupidly tiny. When I meet some of them, I can’t believe it. I know I’ve got curves and big boobs and I’m never, ever going to complain about that. 'Plus I love how expressive my body is. The other day, I was looking back over footage of Any Human Heart, which was made before I started training for Captain America, and I looked at myself as Freya and thought, “I like her and I believe in her. And I really believe that she loves Logan.” And there’s nothing sexier than that, is there?’ Atwell comes across as a girl who knows her own mind. From the minute she walks into the restaurant in which we are meeting, she exudes a magnetic confidence. She instantly takes control, speeding up our transition from bar to table with the calm competence of the head girl she once was. She looks neat and very pretty in flared jeans, high heels and a short woollen jacket, with not a scrap of make-up. 'One of the best lessons I ever learnt in life was from a girlfriend of mine who pointed out that if you wear make-up all the time, you lose the ability to wow when you do.’ In the eager openness of her face, it is easy to find the little girl that Atwell once was. She was an only child whose parents were motivational speakers who had met and fallen in love at a London workshop of Dale Carnegie’s self-help bible How to Win Friends and Influence People in the mid-1970s. By the time she was two, they had separated. Her father, Grant – 'a Tom Selleck lookalike’, and a photographer-turned-shaman who also goes by his Native American name, Star Touches Earth – returned to America, leaving his daughter and her mother, Alison, living like sisters in their bohemian enclave off Ladbroke Grove in west London. It was no ordinary childhood. Aged eight, after seeing Loyd Grossman put a live lobster into boiling water, Atwell became a committed vegetarian. Aged nine, she walked over hot coals at a 'Power Into Action’ workshop her mother had taken her to. As a teenager, while her friends were out experimenting with alcohol and cigarettes, she was on anti-vivisection and Free the Dolphins marches. At the rare parties that she did go to, she was happiest in the corner – preferably with someone’s parent – having a long discussion about life, love and the universe. At Sion-Manning, her comprehensive secondary school, Atwell rebelled against rebellion, taking the bookish route and excelling academically. It was not always easy, and she often found herself being bullied by fellow students for her New Age ways. 'I’d see kids fighting in the playground and say things like, “I’m sensing a lot of anger here”,’ she laughs. After her GCSEs she moved to the fee-paying London Oratory, and then on to Guildhall, a happy outcome for the girl who had only ever wanted to be an actress. Named after Hayley Mills, Atwell was exposed to film and theatre from a young age. 'Mum wasn’t at all religious but she thought that going to the theatre was as important a ceremonial, communal experience that a person could have,’ she says. 'She was always very moved by the power that it had to open your mind. I found it genuinely thrilling.’
