“I love playing Ruth so much, and every single day, I just feel so lucky to be doing this,” she said in her acceptance speech. Julia’s performance as Ruth Langmore earned her not one but two Emmys, and it (likely) did wonders for her financial balance as well.
She continued to build her filmography with roles in films like The Last Exorcism Part II, Not Fade Away, Electrick Children, We Are What We Are, Sin City: A Dame to Kill, Grandma, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower before finding her niche in the realm of streaming series. She made her acting debut in the film Martha Marcy May Marlene in the role of Sarah when she was only 17 years old. Julia Garner’s resume was already outstanding before she landed the lead parts in the critically acclaimed shows Ozark and Inventing Anna.
