As the star of HBO’s post-apocalyptic zombie drama “The Last of Us,” her portrayal of Ellie has won her widespread acclaim and, in the words of GQ’s Jack King, silenced the keyboard warriors who once criticized her casting. The young actor’s success is setting the stage for her upcoming role in the highly anticipated film “Monstrous Beauty.”

In “Monstrous Beauty,” Ramsey will bring her unique acting skills and undeniable on-screen presence to a captivating story set in 17th-century England. This role will showcase her ability to tackle complex characters and immerse herself in a rich, historical setting. As the film explores the intricate world of King Charles II’s court, audiences can expect another brilliant performance from this young talent.

Ramsey’s rise to stardom has been exceptional, especially considering the challenges she faced in her early career, including a barrage of online invectives. But her unwavering dedication and passion for her craft have carried her through these adversities, and she’s now reaping the rewards of her perseverance.

The success of “The Last of Us” and her earlier roles in series like “Game of Thrones” and “Becoming Elizabeth” have proven Ramsey’s acting prowess. As she takes on her role in “Monstrous Beauty,” there’s no doubt that she will continue to captivate audiences and solidify her place as one of the most promising actors of her generation.
