Purnell\u2019s journey in the entertainment industry began as a child actor, but it was her role in the 2010 sci-fi drama \u201cNever Let Me Go\u201d that catapulted her into the spotlight. Starring alongside Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan, and Keira Knightley, Purnell portrayed a young version of Knightley\u2019s character, marking the beginning of her successful career.<\/p>\n
Throughout her teens, Purnell carved out a niche for herself by portraying adolescent versions of iconic actresses in blockbuster films. Her roles as Young Angelina Jolie in \u201cMaleficent\u201d (2014) and Young Margot Robbie in \u201cThe Legend of Tarzan\u201d (2016) showcased her ability to embody the essence of these established stars.<\/p>\n
In addition to her film roles, Purnell also made appearances in popular movies such as \u201cKick-Ass 2\u201d (2013) and Tim Burton\u2019s \u201cMiss Peregrine\u2019s Home for Peculiar Children\u201d (2016). However, it was in the 2020s that Purnell transitioned to streaming and television projects, leading to a significant surge in her career.<\/p>\n
With notable roles in Zack Snyder\u2019s \u201cArmy of the Dead\u201d (2021), the period drama \u201cBelgravia,\u201d and her voice acting performances in \u201cArcane\u201d and \u201cStar Trek: Prodigy,\u201d Purnell has solidified her presence in the streaming landscape.<\/p>\n
However, it was her role as Jackie Taylor in Showtime\u2019s \u201cYellowjackets\u201d that garnered widespread acclaim. Her portrayal of Jackie in the show\u2019s 1996 timeline, following a group of high schoolers navigating survival after a plane crash, showcased her dramatic depth and earned her well-deserved recognition.<\/p>\n
Now, with her standout performance in Fallout, it seems that Purnell\u2019s years as a supporting or ensemble player may be behind her, paving the way for more leading roles and further establishing her as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
