Annabelle Frances Wallis (born 5 September 1984) is an English actress who has played Jane Seymour in Showtime's period drama The Tudors (2009–2010), Grace Burgess in the BBC drama Peaky Blinders (2013–2019), Mia in the supernatural horror film Annabelle (2014), and Jenny Halsey in the supernatural adventure film The Mummy (2017).

Early life[edit]

Wallis was born in Oxford, England. She was raised in Cascais, Portugal, where her family emigrated when she was eighteen months old.[1] Her maternal great-uncle is actor Richard Harris.[2] On her father's side, she is a descendant of English singer Marie Lloyd.[1]

Career[edit]

In Portugal, Annabelle Wallis did several short films before she moved to London to pursue a career in film. In London, she did some advertisements and looked into drama schools before ultimately deciding to find an agent.[1]

In 2005 she landed a lead role in the Bollywood film Dil Jo bhi Kahey, though the film did not fare well at box office. In 2009, Wallis starred as Jane Seymour in season three of the Showtime drama series The Tudors.[3] She replaced Anita Briem in the third season due to conflicting dates with New Line Cinema over Anita's previous commitment to the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. She returned as Jane Seymour in a dream sequence to The Tudors for the fourth (and final) season in mid-2010.

In 2010, Wallis was cast in the film W.E., and in 2011 had a minor role in the film, X-Men: First Class. She starred as Grace Burgess in the BBC drama Peaky Blinders, from 2013 to 2016. She returned as Grace in the fifth season of the show, in 2019. [4][5] In 2014, she starred in the horror film Annabelle, a spin-off of 2013's The Conjuring.[6]

In 2017, She starred as Jenny Halsey, an archaeologist in her highest-grossing film The Mummy.

In April 2018, she was announced to be Cartier's ambassador for jewelry and the new face of the Panthère de Cartier watch.[7]

Personal life[edit]

As a result of attending international schools, Wallis speaks fluent English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish.[8]

Relationships[edit]

Wallis was in an on-off relationship with singer Chris Martin from August 2015 to August 2017.[9]

In April 2018 it was revealed that she has been dating American actor Chris Pine.[10]
