Early life and family

Tomlinson was born in London. She moved with her family to Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England when she was young and attended Beverley High School.[1] She is the daughter of Judith Hibbert, a singer, and Malcolm Tomlinson, an actor and horse racing commentator. Her brother, Ross Tomlinson, is also an actor.[2][3][4]

Career

Tomlinson appeared in The Illusionist as Young Sophie.[5] She starred in the teenage film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging in which she plays "Jas".[6] Tomlinson played Kirsten in the Pro Sieben international production Hepzibah – Sie holt dich im Schlaf alongside David Bamber, under the direction of Robert Sigl.[7]

Tomlinson went on to play Eve, an alien, in 'The Mad Woman in the Attic' – episodes three and four of Series 3 of The Sarah Jane Adventures – in 2009,[8] as well as Fiona Chataway in the film Alice in Wonderland which premiered in theatres on 5 March 2010.[9] In 2013 she was Xenya in the film Siberian Education by Gabriele Salvatores.[10]

After an extensive search, Tomlinson was cast as Princess Isabelle in Jack the Giant Slayer (2013), directed by Bryan Singer.[11][12]

She starred in the TV series The White Queen, as Lady Isabel Neville[13] and as Georgiana Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Death Comes to Pemberley.[14] Since 2015, she has played Demelza Poldark in the BBC One television series Poldark.[15]

Tomlinson was number 56 on the "Radio Times TV 100" list for 2018, a list said to be determined by television executives and broadcasting veterans.[16]

She portrayed the character of Amy in the 2019 BBC TV Series The War of the Worlds, based on the H.G. Wells novel of the same name, a role expanded of the narrator's wife.[17][18][19]

Personal life

She is a natural blonde, but dyed her hair red for the Poldark TV series because she thought red suited her character better.[20]
