A dancer at 10, a model at 14, and a soap opera actor at 18, Wright catapulted to stardom in the film The Princess Bride at age 21. Marriage and children followed, and although she prioritized family over films for many years, she still squeezed in several acclaimed performances. In 2013, she signed on to play Claire Underwood in Netflix’s show House of Cards, helping to launch the streaming TV era. Now she directs and acts and is a cofounder of Pour Les Femmes, a social enterprise that supports women in conflict zones around the world.
