Carey Mulligan is one of my favourite actresses. Ever since she giggled her way through Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, I was charmed - all of her work seems so effortless.
Kitty Bennet was her first acting role. Since then, she has amassed a great body of work, and many of the films happen to be adaptations. Here is a run-down of some of these roles, where she has lent her face to a famous, literary character.
