Emma Corrin is best known as the SAG- and Golden Globe Award\u2013nominated star of Peter Morgan\u2019s Netflix drama \u201cThe Crown\u201d Season 4, where she took on the daunting role of Lady Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales. As the breakout star points out, there\u2019s something inherently effortful in the term \u201cbreakout\u201d\u2014Emma earned the part of Diana after a rigorous, years-long process, first serving as a reader in the audition room, doing extensive research, and at one point being spontaneously asked to sing. \u201cIt was really important for me that anything I replicated, like her head tilt, or her voice, or the way she waved, or the way she held herself, was justified,\u201d she says of building this character from the inside out.\n\nBorn in Kent, England, and trained all over the country including at the University of Cambridge, Emma has been single-mindedly focused on acting, performing onstage, making voiceover gigs her side job, and practicing on-camera work with self-taped auditions. In addition to \u201cThe Crown,\u201d she\u2019s appeared on the Epix series \u201cPennyworth\u201d and in the 2020 film \u201cMisbehaviour.\u201d Stay tuned after the interview for Christine McKenna-Tirella\u2019s casting and reading recommendations, which include Backstage\u2019s many features on \u201cThe Crown\u201d: https://bit.ly/36B6fU4\n\nAnd read up on the 2021 SAG Award nominations here: https://bit.ly/3pMyvL7\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
