She won the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2023.[4]

Early life and education

Tachard-Mackey[5] was born c. 1996[6][7] in Le Mans, the daughter of a French father and an English mother.[8][9] Her father is a school headmaster.[7] She grew up in Sablé-sur-Sarthe,[8] and received her baccalauréat in 2013 with High Honours in l'académie de Nantes, a French school district,[1] subsequently moving to England to study English language and literature at the University of Leeds.[8] She graduated in 2016.[10]

Mackey was cast in her first professional role with the Netflix comedy-drama series Sex Education[11][12] as Maeve Wiley, an intelligent, quick-witted, business-savvy "bad girl" who persuades fellow student Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) to start an underground sex therapy business at their school.[13][14] She stated that "For me, this is my first piece of work ... It was—and still is—a really happy time."[15] Mackey's work on the series has earned her acclaim.[16] The Hindustan Times wrote, "Emma Mackey, as Maeve, is a revelation; perhaps the best performance by a young British actress I've seen since I discovered Florence Pugh. She's alluring yet distant, pragmatic yet emotional, whip-smart yet foolishly in love."[16] For the role, she received a British Academy Television Award nomination in 2021,[3] and won a National Comedy Award in 2022.[17]

In 2021, Mackey appeared in the independent romantic drama film Eiffel,[18] which premiered at the Alliance Française French Film Festival and has earned numerous international theatrical releases;[19] it has grossed over $13 million worldwide.[20] Review site DoItInParis stated that Mackey "radiates mischief in the boots of a rebellious and entire provincial bourgeoisie, a bit capricious but madly endearing."[21] The following year, she starred in the mystery thriller film Death on the Nile,[22] a sequel to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express, in the supporting role of Jacqueline de Bellefort.[23][24] Mackey had her first lead film role as the novelist Emily Brontë in the partly fictional 2022 film Emily,[25][26] focusing on Brontë's early life.[27] The following year, she appeared in the fantasy comedy film Barbie.[28]

Personal life

Mackey lives in London as a dual French-British citizen.[29]
