'Pennyworth' star EmmaCorrin on playing Batman's butler's girlfriend and TheCrown's Princess Diana
Emma Corrin was packing boxes of underwear at a retail startup in London in 2018 when she got a call from her agent. She had some good news — Corrin had landed her first big television audition, for a leading part in Epix's new DC Comics drama— and some bad: She had only three hours to outfit herself as a 1960s dancer and get to the tryout.
The 23-year-old Catholic boarding school grad, who grew up in Kent, about 30 miles outside of London, wanted to be a zoologist as a kid but fell in love with acting while doing school plays. She had trouble getting into acting school — she was rejected twice — but ended up at Cambridge, where she performed in 19 plays over three years. She graduated just last year, right before taking that underwear-boxing job.
