Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!

Ridley turns 24 today. The English actress, born in Westminster, London, on April 10, 1992, began her acting career on television before being cast in her break-out role of Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Cast in February 2014, the true nature of her role as the Jedi heir-apparent in the film was kept secret until its release in December 2015.

Ridley’s performance in the revival of the Star Wars franchise has met almost universal praise, earning her Breakthrough or Newcomer awards and nominations, including awards from Empire and the MTV Movie Awards, which she earned the night before her birthday.
