Julia Garner 10 unknown facts | Emmy Award 2019 winner
Contents
Julia Garner took home the trophy for best supporting actress in a drama series at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night, prevailing in a category dominated by Game of Thrones.
While she’s not as flashy a headliner as some of her fellow nominees, Garner has pretty much been in all the things. And we’re really, really not kidding. She’s has been working in Hollywood for a decade now here are a few things you should know about her.
Julia Garner said “I love playing Ruth so much, and every single day I just feel so lucky to be doing this,” Garner said. “This is so special. I’ll remember this forever.”
Julia Garner fiance
Her fiance is in the biz, too. Garner is currently engaged to Mark Foster, a singer/songwriter best known as one of the founders of the group Foster the People.
She’s starred alongside two film superheroes. Garner’s first feature film role was in 2011’s Martha Marcy May Marlene, acting opposite Elizabeth Olsen in her pre-Scarlet Witch days. That’s not the only big-screen superhero she worked with in their pre-super powered days. In 2012, she worked with Ezra Miller, aka the DC film universe’s The Flash, in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Julia Garner first TV role
Her first TV role lasted four seasons. While many actors start out with small guest spots before finally landing a recurring or series regular role, Garner leapfrogged over all that to land a recurring role as Kimberley on The Americans from 2015 to 2018.
She’s a fan of mindless reality TV. When Fashion asked her how she likes to decompress from her intense filming, she had a pretty dang relatable answer: cheesy reality TV. “[Real] Housewives. It’s bad. But I don’t even have to watch. I can just go to the other room and just hear them banter, I love it.”
Ozark is her first leading role on TV. Garner has been playing young criminal Ruth Langmore on the Netflix drama since its 2017 debut. While this year is her first Emmy win and nomination, she’s been nominated for other awards previously: in 2018, she was nominated at the SAG Awards and the Critics’ Choice Awards for her work on the show.
She went full method acting for her Ozark accent. Although her twangy accent sounds pretty authentic to us, Garner isn’t even remotely a Southerner in real life — she’s from the Bronx, NY. So she worked intensely to get her character’s voice just right. “I wanted to sound authentic, so a month before doing Ozark, I would only speak in the accent,” she told IndieWire.
“I would walk around everywhere [speaking with the accent]. I’d order my food with the accent. You kind of get a sense of the character [like that].”
Julia Garner
Julia Garner is from the Bronx, so yeah, no, she doesn’t have a Missouri accent. “I wanted the job so bad that I actually prepared with a Missouri accent,” she told Fashion Magazine. “And when I got to the audition, I could hear the other actors reading their lines, and was like, ‘None of them have the accent, I’m screwed.’ But I couldn’t remember my lines when I wasn’t doing the accent. So, I just had to do the accent—and it worked.”
Julia Garner method-acted TF outta that accent. Julia says she spent a full month talking like her character Ruth Langmore. “I wanted to sound authentic, so a month before doing Ozark, I would only speak in the accent,” she told IndieWire. “I would walk around everywhere [using the accent]. I’d order my food with the accent. You kind of get a sense of the character [that way].”
