Natalie Press (born 15 August 1980) is an English actress nominated for a Best Actress BAFTA for her role in the 2010 ensemble three hour BBC piece Five Daughters, directed by Phillipa Lowthorpe. She is known for her award-winning performance in the 2004 film My Summer of Love and a number of short and feature length independent films, including Wasp, which won the 2005 Academy Award for Live Action Short Film.
(On her experience working with Pawel Pawlikowski) It was scary at first, because sometimes he directs as we're filming. You're in the moment and suddenly you'll hear him shout things like, 'Now kiss her!' or 'Tell her you love her!' and I had to get used to not looking over at him. He wouldn't say, 'Emily [Blunt](Emily Blunt) do this' or 'Natalie do that,' so in the film you can often see a hesitation there - we're wondering what to do and who's going to make the first move, just as the characters would.
