Eilen Atkins

English actress and screenwriter Eileen Atkins enjoyed a string of success in the film, movie, radio, and theater industry for a long time. She’s played a significant role in the business since the early ‘50s. She consistently pours in a lot of effort to improve her craft, and all of her hard work paid off big time. As a result, she became one of the most respected figures in the scene. Her journey began back when she was still going to school.

Atkins took drama classes throughout her teenage years and gradually improved her skills in acting. Soon after, the actress landed her first acting credit for the stage play Love’s Labour’s Lost. She worked on other projects through the years, including Hilda Lessways, An Age of Kings, Cranford, and Robin Hood. Along the way, Atkins also gave behind-the-scenes work a shot, co-creating the shows Upstairs, Downstairs, The House of Elliott, and writing the script of 1997’s Mrs. Dalloway.
