2. Her first onscreen appearance was on the TV crime drama The Guardian in 2004.

3. Says she pretended to be British while trying to win over filmmaker Martin Scorsese for her role in Hugo. "They told me he only wanted to cast British actors, so I wore a wig and made an audition tape using a British accent. He liked my tape and flew me to New York, and I kept up the act that I was a British girl who had moved to L.A." she revealed to W.
