Who is Anya Taylor Joy?

Anya Josephine Marie Taylor-Joy is an actress and model, best known for her role as Elizabeth Harmon in “The Queen’s Gambit”. She was born on April 16, 1996 under the zodiac sign of Aries in Miami, Florida, USA. She has a mixture of Spanish and Scottish ancestry, but holds dual citizenship of Great Britain and the United States.

Anya was raised by her parents, Jennifer Marina Joy, a psychologist, and Dennis Alan Taylor, a former banker. She spent her childhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is why Spanish is Anya’s first language.

Anya and her family moved to London when she was six years old; she stubbornly refused to learn English at the time, hoping they would move back to Argentina. She received her early education at Hill House and Queen’s Gate School, Kensington, where she trained in ballet and participated in school plays.

Due to the constant bullying she faced in school, Anya dropped out at the age of 16 to pursue an acting career. At the age of 17, she caught the attention of Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Management, who later scouted her as a model.

Anya made her film debut playing the role of Philippa Collins-Davidson in the British detective drama series “Endeavour” (2014), and made her feature film debut the following year, playing Thomasin in “The Witch” (2015), a role that earned her an Empire and a Gotham Award.

From 2016 through 2019, Ms. Taylor-Joy starred in several films, including ‘Barry’ (2016), ‘Marrowbone’ (2017), ‘Crossmaglen’ (2018) and ‘Love, Antosha’ (2019).

In 2020, she played the titular character in the film adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1815 novel ‘Emma’, and the same year she starred as Beth Harmon, chess prodigy in the Netflix mini-series ‘The Queen’s Gambit’. For her role in the series, Anya won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Miniseries and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries.

Anya maintains the utmost privacy regarding her romantic relationships. Since splitting with Macken, she has been in a relationship with photographer Ben Seed and is now with American musician Malcolm McRae; she states that “it’s nice to be anonymous.”
