Wondering what else the BAFTA Leading Actress winner has appeared in? Read on for everything you need to know about the star.
Who is Marisa Abela?
She has previously opened up about how she initially wanted to head to law school, but eventually applied to RADA, securing a place when she was 19 years old.
She rose to fame playing investment banker Yasmin in BBC drama Industry – a role which she bagged in her first year of drama school and for which she recently received her first BAFTA award.
What else has Marisa Abela starred in?
Speaking about the role, she said back in 2021: "I was in my final year of drama school at the time when I got the script. It was maybe three episodes, and I was just overwhelmed with excitement at the idea of playing a character like this."
Since bagging the role of Yasmin in Industry, Abela has gone on to play the late singer Amy Winehouse in Sam Taylor-Johnson's Back to Black.
She captioned the image with a reference from Amy’s 2008 Grammy acceptance speech, writing: "And for London. This is for London. 'Cause Camden Town ain't burnin' down."
She continued: "It was about that moment where she really set the world on fire with her album Frank. We wanted to get back to that place – who was she, at the centre of her own narrative? I wanted to capture the essence of her soul."
Abela also had a very minor role in Greta Gerwig's Barbie.
Abela is 27 years old.
What has Marisa Abela said about starring in Industry?
"Thank God I’m not quite as cold-hearted or complicated as she is! And I think I’m able to be slightly more vulnerable."
Does Marisa Abela sing in Back to Black?
Yes, director Sam Taylor-Johnson previously revealed that Marisa has provided all vocals for the film.
She continued: "I was thinking, maybe we’ll use Amy’s voice throughout, and we’ll do it that way.
"She then went off after that audition – irrespective of whether she knew she’d got the part – and started training her voice."
"I mean, it's an incredibly distinctive sound, so just nailing that sound was the difficult thing," she said.
"So in those moments that are, you know, specific interviews or specific performances, it kind of has to be right, because that's the only time it ever sounded like that. So that was important to me."
