20 Awesome English Roses
Bloomin’ marvellous home-grown beauties…
By Josh WinningSep 6th 2010Imogen Poots
The Rose: Fresh-faced Poots is already setting about making her mark on the movie landscape. Her first film role in 28 Weeks Later impressed, she’s just shot her first costume drama with Jane Eyre, and is currently filming the Fright Night remake alongside Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin. TF can also attest that she's just really nice.
The Awesome: At the centre of brawny subtlety-vacuum Centurion, Poots cut an affable, likeable sketch of a banished young woman. She also showed she had guts when it came to firearms in 28 Weeks Later. Awesome promise of great things to come.
American Equivalent: Claire Danes, who Poots appeared alongside in Me And Orson Welles, has similar on-screen virtues – a girl-next-door, grounded appeal and a smart head screwed onto her shoulders.

I am sorry, but correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure Audrey Hepburn was English? She should definitely be on here!
