Actor, writer and director Dolly Wells burst onto our screens in 2014 in ‘Doll and Em’, the electrifyingly witty, utterly outrageous HBO show created by Dolly and her best friend, Emily Mortimer. After that, she was the badass nun Sister Agatha in Steven Moffat’s Dracula, Anna in the brilliant, and Oscar-Nominated, ‘Can you Ever Forgive Me?’ and soon after that, she was back with her best mate as Aunt Sadie in the glorious adaptation of ‘The Pursuit of Love’.
However, Dolly soon stepped out from in front of the camera and took her seat in the director’s chair. Her feature debut was the elegant, lo-fi indie comedy ‘Good Posture’, which she also wrote. It was met with universal critical acclaim and catapulted Dolly into Hollywood and, luckily for us, through the doors of Snapper too.
She’s fearlessly ambitious, stating, ‘It’s OK to be ambitious as long as you’re not an arsehole.’ True words indeed. Dolly is charismatic, brilliantly funny, compassionate, ferociously creative and is about as far from being an arsehole as it is possible to be.
Loves: Her long-haired miniature dachshund, Morris.
Doesn’t love at all: Passive-aggressive messages from Duolingo reminding her she hasn’t been practising for a while. Alright, maybe longer than a while, but still, Jeez…
