Rebecca Hall great stage performance
Rebecca Maria Hall (born 19 May 1982) is an English actress. In 2003, she won the Ian Charleson Award for her debut stage performance in a production of Mrs. Warren’s Profession. She has appeared in the films The Prestige, Vicky Cristina Barcelona (for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe), The Town, Frost/Nixon, and Iron Man 3. In June 2010, Hall won the Supporting Actress BAFTA for her portrayal of Paula Garland in the 2009 Channel 4 production Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1974. She was also nominated for the Leading Actress BAFTA in 2013 for her role as Sylvia Tietjens in BBC Two’s Parade’s End.
Rebecca Hall may not have Scarlett Johansson’s delectable curves or Penelope Cruz’s raw sensuality, but her slightly bookish quality and statuesque frame is every bit as sexy as the mouthwatering attributes of her fellow Vicky Cristina Barcelona costars. Luckily, we should get to see even more of this English rose in the year ahead as she shows off her figure in four different big-screen films. For the record, Rebecca Hall’s dream date is a young Marlon Brando finally, a gal with taste!

One of Britain’s most talented stage actresses, Rebecca Hall has starred in more than a dozen plays, including lavish productions of As You Like It, Don Juan, Galileo’s Daughter, and Mrs Warren’s Profession, for which she won the prestigious Ian Charleson Award in 2003. Her cinematic output, although still in its nascent stages, has also been remarkably promising thanks to a series of head-turning performances in The Prestige, Frost/Nixon and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, where she more than held her own opposite Oscar-nominated actors Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Patricia Clarkson. Hall’s professional stage debut came in 2002 when she starred as Vivie in her father’s production of Mrs Warren’s Profession at the Strand Theatre in London. Her performance, described as “admirable” and “accomplished”, earned her the Ian Charleson Award in 2003.In 2003, Hall’s father celebrated fifty years as a theatre director by staging a season of five plays at the Theatre Royal in Bath, Somerset. Hall starred in two of these plays; she appeared as Rosalind in her father’s production of As You Like It, which gained her a second Charleson nomination and starred in the title role of Thea Sharrock’s revival of D. H. Lawrence’s The Fight for Barbara. In 2004, Hall appeared in three plays for the Peter Hall Company at the Theatre Royal, two of which her father directed, namely Man and Superman in which she played Ann, and Galileo’s Daughter in which she played Sister Maria Celeste. The third, Molière’s Don Juan, in which she played the part of Elvira, was directed by Sharrock. In 2005, Hall reprised the role of Rosalind in a touring production of As You Like It, again under the direction of her father. This tour took in the following venues: The Rose Theatre in Kingston upon Thames; The Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York; The Curran Theatre at San Francisco; The Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and venues in New Haven, Connecticut, Columbus, Ohio, and the historic Wilbur Theater in Boston.In 2008–09, she appeared in Sam Mendes’s first instalment of the Bridge Project, as Hermione in The Winter’s Tale and Varya in The Cherry Orchard, which gave performances with the same cast in Germany, Greece, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2010–11, she played Viola in a production of Twelfth Night at London’s National Theatre, which her father directed.In May 2013, it was announced that Hall is set to make her Broadway debut in Sophie Treadwell’s expressionist play Machinal. Roundabout’s production, directed by Lyndsey Turner, will begin previews on December 20, 2013, with the official opening set for January 16, 2014 at the American Airlines Theatre in New York.
