Emily Blunt was born in London on February 23, 1983. Interested in acting at a young age, Blunt began appearing on British TV in the early 2000s and made the leap to the big screen soon after in the 2004 film My Summer of Love. A part in the hit film The Devil Wears Prada brought her more early attention, and roles in projects such as Dan in Real Life and Charlie Wilson’s War soon followed. With such diverse films as The Muppets, Edge of Tomorrow, Into the Woods and Sicario also to her credit, Blunt seems ready for whatever may next come her way. She became interested in acting at an early age, and when she was 18 she landed the classic role of Juliet in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in a production for the UK Chichester Festival. Around that same time, she made her debut on the London stage opposite Dame Judi Dench in The Royal Family. For her work, Blunt was named best newcomer by The Evening Standard. In 2006, Blunt co-starred in the film The Devil Wears Prada, based on the bestselling novel by the same name, and was nominated for a best supporting actress Golden Globe.
