Emily Blunt (Feb. 23, 1983) was born in Roehampton, London to a teacher/actress and an attorney. At age sixteen, Blunt moved to Hurtwood House (college) and studied drama. She was discovered by an agent shortly after and made her theater debut. She made her screen debut in 2003, when she was cast in the series "Boudica". It was her edgy and manipulative role in 2004's "My Summer of Love" that garnered her major attention from Hollywood. She has since costarred in "Gideon's Daughter" (for which she won a Golden Globe), "The Devil Wears Prada", "Charlie Wilson's War", "The Wolfman", and "The Adjustment Bureau". Up next: "The Muppets" (with Jason Segel and Amy Adams), "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" (with Ewan McGregor and Kristin Scott Thomas), and "Looper" (with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis).

Flick of the Day
Film: GOSFORD PARKDirector: Robert Altman
Actors: Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas, Camilla Rutherford, Charles Dance, Tom Hollander, Jeremy Northam, Bob Balaban, Clive Owen, Kelly Macdonald, Ryan Phillippe, Emily Watson, Richard E. Grant, Alan Bates, Michael Gambon, Stephen Fry
Year: 2001
Synopsis: A look at the difference between the upper and working classes in early 20th century England.
One of Robert Altman's last films, and definitely one of his best, "Gosford Park" delves into the complicated relationships and inner workings of an English upper crust household in the 1930s. The upper class (led by Kristin Scott Thomas and Michael Gambon) live their lives without much notice of their servants (led by Helen Mirren and Derek Jacobi). It's an amazing cast and an amazing story in typical Robert Altman style. Well worth a watch or two.

Ginger of the Week
Oxford grad, Katherine Parkinson, studied drama at the London Academy of Music and Drama. She began her career in plays like "The Age of Consent" with Julie Walters and "The Seagull" with Kristin Scott Thomas. She got her first big break with a recurring role on "Doc Martin" in 2005, but it was her hilarious turn as 'Jen' in the hit series "The IT Crowd", that has brought her tremendous fame in England. Since then, Parkinson has appeared in the films "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People", The Boat That Rocked", and "St. Trinian's 2".
