Emma Corrin, a young British actress who has won multiple awards for her work, is the guest on this week’s episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. The episode was recorded in front of a group of film students at Chapman University. In the podcast, Corrin, who is only 28 years old, talks about her career-defining role as Princess Diana in season four of Netflix’s The Crown in 2020. She discusses how she portrayed Diana from the age of 16 to 28 and how it helped her define herself as an actress.
In addition to her work on The Crown, Corrin has also had success with her personal journey of identity and Emmy-buzzed performance in the FX limited series A Murder at the End of the World. In this series, created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, Corrin plays a character named Darby Hart in two different time periods six years apart. In the first period, she is an amateur detective investigating cold-case murders with her then-boyfriend Bill. In the second period, she is an acclaimed author invited to a billionaire’s retreat where Bill is found dead. This presents Darby with a personal mystery to solve.
Corrin has also appeared in several films this year, including My Policeman and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. She will soon be seen in Deadpool & Wolverine and Nosferatu as well. With all these accomplishments under her belt at such a young age, it’s clear that Emma Corrin is destined for greatness in the world of acting.
