Jodie Comer, 26, got lucky. Little did she know when she was cast as Villanelle in the BBC series Killing Eve, that she would be an overnight sensation and BAFTA award winner. Jodie and her costar Sandra Oh were BOTH nominated for Best TV Actress, but Sandra had already won plenty of awards in the USA. (Killing Eve also won a BAFTA for Best Drama Series.) We love this idiosyncratic series – the female characters are SO deliciously written, with a surprise around every corner. It’s given a much deserved career boost to Sandra as well as Jodie – both are getting offers right and left. We hate to see this series ever end…
