Emily Beecham
Encyclopedia
Emily Beecham is an English film, television and stage actress who, since the start of her career in 2006, has amassed over thirty credits, including the leading role of a postulant
nun entering an unconventional convent depicted in The Calling, a film which, following its premiere in June 2009 at the Edinburgh Film Festival, resulted in her being chosen as one of the recipients of that year's Skillset Trailblazer Award, bestowed upon a select group of young actors considered "new discoveries" and potential stars.
to an English airline pilot, and his American wife (from Arizona
), Emily Beecham has dual citizenship and holds an American passport (as does her brother who moved to Seattle to pursue a career as a musician). Due to her father's profession the family did not stay in one place for long: "we were always moving so I went to about ten schools, and I was constantly missing syllabuses and redoing them", she told an interviewer. She also laughed about her "early career" as an amateur actress: " I used my imagination a lot and it was something that came naturally to me."
In 2003, she enrolled at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art
(LAMDA), graduating in 2006. She also signed with the modeling agency, Select Models and, in her final year at LAMDA, started accepting professional acting opportunities, with her first appearance occurring in the "Roadside Bouquets" episode of the supernatural TV series Afterlife
(broadcast 16 September 2006) in which, following brief lines of dialogue in the opening scene, her character, a student, is accidentally killed through the negligence of friends whom she subsequently haunts via ghostly emanations. The following month saw the premiere of her first feature which, during that year's spring and summer, offered the additional attraction of a Canadian location trip to play, at age 22, a 16-year-old who accompanies her parents on a voyage to Quebec
, where she is kidnapped. She described the three-month shoot in Montreal
as "amazing... really hard work, though, with 18-hour shooting days almost every day". Receiving positive notices following its October debut on ITV

Television Festival.
in which she has a three-minute role during the opening moments and comes to an extremely violent end after being attacked and infected by humans carrying the deadly, instantly-active "Rage virus". Still in her first year as a full-time actress, in mid-2007, she was chosen by director Jan Dunn for the leading ingenue role in her independently-produced feature, The Calling, which was filmed between 12 August and 3 September, but did not have an official public screening until late June 2009, nearly two years later. Displaying a cast list replete with veteran actresses, including Susannah York
, Brenda Blethyn
, Rita Tushingham
, Amanda Donohoe
, Pauline McLynn
and Susannah Harker
, the production received favorable, negative and mixed reviews, one of which, in the online publication, TVbomb, commented that "[N]ewcomer Emily Beecham plays a young woman determined to take the veil and holds her own well against such stalwarts as Brenda Blethyn and Susannah York". In highlighting the impression made by the film's young star, film columnist Hannah McGill, who served as the Edinburgh Festival's artistic director from 2006 to 2010, decided that she should be one of the recipients of the coveted Skillset Trailblazer Award.
In the latter part of the year, Emily Beecham gave her first professional stage performance in Ian McHugh
's debut play, How to Curse, directed at Bush Theatre
in West London
's Shepherd's Bush
by the theatre's artistic director Josie Rourke
. Although he was negatively disposed towards the plot's improbabilities, The Daily Telegraph
veteran drama critic Charles Spencer
singled out the cast of three for "strong performances": "Al Weaver undoubtedly has an intriguing otherworldly quality as the neurotic Nick, Emily Beecham is both mischievous and sexy as Miranda and Robert Boulter brings a touching vulnerability to the stage as William", while a two-star, mixed review from The Times Dominic Maxwell also mentioned "Al Weaver’s well-judged brittle distraction as Nick, and great poise and wit from Emily Beecham as Miranda". The limited-run production had its initial preview on 10 October, with opening night on 16 October and final performance on 10 November.
In 2008 Emily Beecham was in the Lewis episode, "And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea", playing an Oxford art history
student who earns a bit of an income by giving imaginatively embellished guided tours of the University campus, as well as participating in painting forgery, and becomes the victim of a killer, prompting Inspector Lewis
, upon viewing her remains, to recollect having questioned her the previous day, which leads him to comment sorrowfully, "she was lovely". In 2009 she had the key assignment in The Secret Diary of the Holocaust, a documentary about the newly-brought-to-light story of Rutka Laskier
, referenced as the "Polish
Anne Frank
", by reading entries from the teenager's diary, thus giving a sensitive voice to the young victim of World War II. Her other credits during the year include a brief turn as an action figure while portraying a sorcerer's sword-wielding companion in "The Witch's Quickening" episode of Merlin
, along with continued appearances in episodes of such TV series as Bafta Award-winning The Street
, while also being listed by Nylon
magazine's "Young Hollywood" issue as one of 55 "Faces of the Future", with the photograph captioned "Young Hollywood London". At the time, John Rankin, Esquire
magazine's veteran glamour photographer was quoted as stating that she has "that something special, that thing you just feel about someone… she’s one of the most exciting actresses out there".
