Was hot for a minute but now seems to have disappeared


Where did she go?

She had a hit Netflix show in The Crown, and then starred in Unsane and the latest Lisbeth Salander movie, and co-starred in First Man. Then poof. It's like Hollywood has gotten bored of her already.

You could say that about hundreds who hit the big time just before COVID. You know, pretty much everyone disappeared in the last year, to be fair.

That's true but even before Covid she was MIA. I just looked and she hasn't released a film since 2018. A lot of other actors have at least been in movies or on TV, even if the industry is quiet.

I think she has a movie with Benedict Cumberbatch coming out this year. She’s pretty talented, I think we’ll see more of her.

I've liked her ever since seeing her in The Crown. I thought that was such a great performance. She was also good in First Man.

Unfortunately Unsane and Spider's Web were garbage, so that may have something to do with studios' seeming lack of interest.

Probably doing what most UK actors do: stage work. Film and tv are for paying the bills. Their real career is on the stage.

Flash in the pan. It happens all the time

I guess I created this thread two years ago. Now that you've bumped it I realize that I still haven't heard much about Claire Foy lately.

Looking at her filmography, it appears that she took a break from 2018 to 2021 and then came back and did a few projects, but I've never heard of any of them.
