Olivia Colman Turns 50: Her 10 Best Movie Performances From ‘The Favourite’ to ‘Tyrannosaur’


Variety ranks Olivia Colman's best movies and performances which include "The Lost Daughter," "The Favourite," "Tyrannosaur" and "Wonka."

Still, they were gifted another fearless Colman performance as the manipulative and gold-digging Mrs. Scrubitt — a turn that feels like a narrative blend of Miss Hannigan from “Annie” and Madame Thénardier from “Les Misérables.” If you’re mixed on the film’s overall quality and tone, her scenes alone will keep you engaged to make it to the end credits. Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller and directors Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe gave Colman the role of PAL, a maniacal AI virtual assistant that orders the extermination of human beings and sends them to space. Image Credit: Everett Collection/Netflix Maggie Gyllenhaal was given a gift from the heavens when she cast Olivia Colman in her directorial and screenwriting debut “The Lost Daughter.” She plays Leda Caruso in the psychological drama, a woman on holiday in Greece who is forced to confront the demons of her past.
