Daisy Ridley
Daisy Jazz Isobel Ridley (born 10 April 1992) is an English actress. Born in Westminster and brought up in Maida Vale, Ridley trained in drama at the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts. She began acting in minor guest roles on television and in short films, making her film debut in the independent horror film "Scrawl" (2015). She rose to international prominence for playing the lead role of Rey in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, starring in "" (2015) and "" (2017). She is also known for her performance of Mary Debenham in "Murder on the Orient Express" (2017), and as the voice of Cottontail in "Peter Rabbit" (2018).
Paula Wessely
Wessely, who was not particularly photogenic, was passed over in favor of Magda Schneider for the role of Christine in Max Ophüls' 1933 filmization of Arthur Schnitzler's "Liebelei", a part she had played at Theater in der Josefstadt. Her first major movie role was that of Leopoldine Dur in the 1934 film "Maskerade" directed by Willi Forst, together with Adolf Wohlbrück. Further appearances in films like "Episode" by Walter Reisch, for which she was awarded the Volpi Cup as best actress at the 1935 Venice Film Festival, finally made her a star. In 1938 she was the speaking voice of Snow White in the first German-dubbed version of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Immediately banned by the Nazi authorities after the Austrian "Anschluss" in the same year, this version was re-released in 1948 in Austria and in 1950 in West Germany (the first public performance ever), for the last time performed in 1957. As Disney Germany re-dubbed this movie in 1966 and again in 1994, both older versions are no longer available — although they are archived at London. Like her brother-in-law Paul Hörbiger, Wessely had publicly acclaimed the "Anschluss", after which she smoothly continued her film and theatre career. Her most notorious movie appearance was in the anti-Polish Nazi propaganda film "Heimkehr" ("Homecoming") by Gustav Ucicky in 1941. Heavily criticized by Austrian intellectuals after World War II, she later publicly regretted her involvement.
