Anna Katherine Popplewell was born on December the 16th, 1988 in London, England, UK. Her parents - Andrew (a lawyer) and Debra (an immunologist) - had two other children besides Anna, Freddie and Lulu, who are also actors. In 1994, Anna began taking classes at the Allsorts Drama School. The school was one of the few that offered classes in dramatic theatre for children, so Anna’s parents put her into the program. After a short time of study, Anna was lucky enough to get an agent in the acting business, and in 1998, she had her first professional acting job as Henrietta in the television production Frenchman’s Creek (1998). It may have been a small role, but it was enough to get Anna noticed and exposed to other potential parts in the future.
1999 saw the release of Mansfield Park - based on the book by Jane Austen - and the filming of The Little Vampire, which was released in 2000. From 2001 to 2002, Anna starred in small roles in Me Without You and Thunderpants, which subsequently landed her a role in the film Girl with a Pearl Earring along side Scarlett Johansson. Anna’s big break came in 2004 after 18 long months of auditioning for a role in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. From hundreds of girls who auditioned, Anna was cast as Susan Pevensie in the film, and the movie went on to gross over $740,000,000 (USD) over the course of its theatre release in 2005 and 2006. The second installment of the Narnia films, Prince Caspian, was widely received by critics after its release in 2008.
Besides acting in student production of “Five Kinds of Silence” and as Lady Macbeth in “Macbeth”, Anna has been studying English Literature at Magdalen College in Oxford, England, and currently has 2 years to go.
