Actress Jodie Comer is flying high at the moment after a BAFTA Best Actress win for playing the psychopathic assassin Villanelle in the first series of BBC America’s Killing Eve, now showing in season two.
She was born 11 March 1983 in Liverpool and started appearing in TV drama from her mid teens onwards, building up to lead roles in Lady Chatterley, Doctor Foster, Rillington Place and The White Princess.
She has a Sun in filmic Pisces trine Pluto sextile a highly-strung Uranus Neptune in Capricorn. She also has a Cardinal Grand Square of Venus in Aries opposition Jupiter square Mars in Cancer opposition Uranus Neptune – so highly restless, volatile, spilling over with initiative, inclined to be impulsive and over-reactive.
She swears by the show’s writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who’s also on a roll with an exceptionally popular comedy drama series Fleabag just finished showing as well. Phoebe, 14 July 1985 London, is multi-talented being an actress, playwright and screenplay writer. She has a feisty Sun Mars in Cancer in a hard-working trine to Saturn in conscientious Scorpio with a Moon Venus in Gemini opposition Uranus and trine Jupiter. Quite a split personality with a hard-driving side and an indulgent, light hearted streak.
Phoebe’s Sun Mars are conjunct Jodie’s Uranus Neptune which is a sparky cross over; with Phoebe’s Saturn conjunct Jodie’s Pluto which is helpful for dark joint enterprises, a touch heavy for 24/7 togetherness.
They won 4 Emmys earlier this morning between them for Fleabag and Killing Eve!
And PW-B doing the rewrites for Bond – so exciting
My understanding is Phoebe Waller-Bridge is not writing “Killing Eve” Season II, and it shows! I binged the first season, now have three episodes waiting. Jodie Comer is marvelous, of course, but character development for everybody else, including Eve, is suspended.
On the other hand, “Chernobyl” is incredible, and has superb writing by Craig Mazin known for the first “Hangover” movie, of all things. Also, totslly believable Soviet ambientation, my friends who lived in Lithuania at the time find few flaws there.
Both so talented! We’re enjoying Killing Eve, and binge watched all of the Fleabag series last weekend. Speaking of Fleabag, Andrew Scott was lovely – he had been so creepy as Moriarty in the Cumberbatch Sherlock series, but charming as the priest in Fleabag. Maybe you could look at him?
Also, thanks for the distractions from the awful political news!
Thank you for writing about JC Marjorie, she is some talent!
So is PWB!!
