Elizabeth Debicki and Emma Corrin on Failed ‘Crown’ Auditions, Sharing the Role of Diana and ‘Abusive’ Paparazzi: ‘We Haven’t Learned Anything’


Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki both ended up playing Princess Diana at different ages on 'The Crown.'

Corrin has springboarded off their “Crown” success into further risky and intriguing roles — this season playing the enigmatic and dogged sleuth Darby Hart on FX’s snowbound mystery “A Murder at the End of the World,” created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. The funny thing is, for five or six years, I continued to watch “The Crown” religiously, and I would think, “I wonder if that’s ever going to come around.” And when you were cast, I thought, “Well, it was a nice dream.” Unlike Diana, which comes with this sort of enormous amount of information and preconceived ideas, this must have felt like a freefall, but also kind of wonderful at the same time.
