Since the age of four, Juno Temple knew she was going to be an actress. Temple currently has four films in the works including Maleficent, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Truck Stop, all releasing in 2014.
With a director as a father and a producer as a mother, her parents showed her nothing but support. At the age of 18, Temple’s career took off after she played the daughter of Cate Blanchett in the drama Notes on a Scandal. A year later in 2007, Temple would star in the Oscar-winning romance Atonement. It seemed as if Temple was unstoppable as her roles began to pile up. Her acting credits include The Other Boleyn Girl, Wild Child, Year One, Greenberg, Kaboom, The Three Musketeers, Killer Joe, The Dark Knight Rises, Lovelace and many, many more.
In the highly anticipated Disney film Maleficent, a twist on Sleeping Beauty told through the eyes of the villain, Temple will play the character of Thistletwit. Later this year, Temple will star in the sequel to Frank Miller’s and Robert Rodriguez’s disturbing thriller Sin City which released in 2005. Temple’s cast mates include countless notable stars such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and Josh Brolin. In the 1970s drama Truck Stop, a bond is formed between a child with cerebral palsy and a struggling runaway played by Temple. As confirmed by her win of the 2013 EE Rising Star Award, Temple’s career is worth the attention.
