Lily Cole
With her flame red hair and unique, ethereal beauty, Lily Cole took the modelling world by storm in the early Nineties, with covers for Vogue, high-profile campaigns for brands as diverse as Chanel and Topshop, and a Model of the Year gong at the British Fashion Awards in 2004.
Keen to break away from modelling, Lily had a small role in 2007’s St Trinians before landing her first major part as Valentina in Terry Gilliam's 2009 fantasy film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (pictured). Her co-star was Heath Ledger (the film would be the Australian star’s last before his untimely death), and Lily confessed to feeling out of her depth.
She told The Daily Telegraph: ‘I’d only done a couple of films and here I was surrounded by amazing actors like Christopher Plummer and Heath Ledger, and it was intimidating at times.’
Still, she needn’t have worried; the film was a success, and Lily has since gone on to appear in numerous movies.
