She would go on to appear in TV series like The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard and Doctor Who, as well as in movies like Public Enemies.

For her work in the film, Mulligan won a number of critics awards for Best Actress, as well as garnering nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Academy. She became one of the most respected and in-demand young actresses of her generation and she continued to choose challenging projects like the psychological sci-fi film Never Let Me Go, and the Olive Stone directed sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. In 2011 she appeared in audience dividing films. She starred opposite Ryan Gosling in the action film Drive, and played the sister of a sex addict in Shame. In 2012 she was tapped to play the iconic literary role of Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

• 1. Kathy: What I'm not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time.
