Like many of their co-stars, Emma earned rave reviews for their performance. They received their first Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama for their portrayal of Princess Diana. HollywoodLife<\/strong> has 5 key facts to know about the star on the rise.<\/p>\n Emma had a few roles prior to The Crown<\/em>, including a 4-episode arc on the EPIX series Pennyworth <\/em>in 2019, but The Crown<\/em> is their biggest role to date. They were a main cast member in season 4 as Princess Diana became a pivotal figure in the royal family. Emma starred alongside Josh O’Connor<\/strong><\/a> as Prince Charles<\/strong> and Olivia Colman<\/strong> as Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Emma revealed they worked with a dialect coach to nail Diana’s voice, which was a “key part of her.” They also worked with a movement coach. “Those little details helped so much to make it less scary. It is a huge responsibility and also a huge honour,” Emma said in a statement to Netflix.<\/p>\n Harry Styles<\/strong> even dog sat for her once. Emma revealed all during their interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon<\/em><\/a> in Nov. 2020. “I was having dinner near where he lives and he looked after Spencer for me,” Emma said. “But not again. He hasn\u2019t done it again.\u2026I think it\u2019s because halfway through the meal, I got a message that just said, \u2018He won\u2019t stop farting. Is this normal?\u2019” Harry and Emma starred in the romantic drama My Policeman<\/em> together.<\/p>\n They starred in the movie Misbehaviour<\/em>, a historical drama that follows a group of women from the Women’s Liberation Movement seeking to disrupt the 1970 Miss World beauty competition. Emma starred alongside Keira Knightley<\/strong><\/a>, Keeley Hawes<\/strong>, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In 2018, <\/strong>Emma was packing boxes of underwear at a retail startup in London when they learned about their first major TV audition for a role in Pennyworth<\/em>, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>. They rushed to the audition after nabbing some ’60s-era clothes and booked the role of Esme Winikus in the Batman\u00a0<\/em>prequel series. The next year, they landed the role of Princess Diana.<\/p>\n Emma played the young Princess Diana from 1979 to 1990. The Crown<\/em> season 5<\/a> moved into the 1990s, which were the final years of Diana’s life. Elizabeth Debicki<\/strong> is playing Princess Diana for seasons 5 and 6 of The Crown<\/em>. Diana tragically died<\/a> in a car accident in 1997, so the Netflix series will likely cover her death and the impact it had on the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emma Corrin was the breakout star is playing Princess Diana in ‘The Crown’ season 4, and now they’re an award winner.
