THE INTERVIEW
mily Blunt is attractive, sassy
and loves being an actress who
can “morph into character.”
E No matter the role, be it Mary
Poppins or a blacked-out drunk, the audience
believes every moment of her portrayals. Her
skill at the suspension of reality is what makes
her a star, or as she modestly puts it, “I blend
in real well.”
Born in 1983, the daughter of an actress and a
barrister, Blunt became an actress as a result
of overcoming her stammer. A wise teacher
invited her to play a character and speak in
the voice of the character, and it worked. The
stammer was eliminated and a star was born.
She is a gifted mimic and is often cast as the bad
girl. She says it is because she has “sly eyes” that
make one wonder what she is really thinking.
