The critics adore her and tomorrow she is up for an Olivier award. She is known for brave portrayals of emotional extremity, but Ruth Wilson says fear is the key to her acting.

‘I wish I was more of a girly girl and could enjoy this more,” says Ruth Wilson. We’re walking down Waterloo backstreets to a pub for her photo shoot. She’s the one in the sharp suit with good posture and a dancer’s gait. After that ordeal, she has an appointment to choose the jewellery she will wear for tomorrow night’s Olivier awards at the Royal Opera House, where she has been nominated as best actress for her critically acclaimed performance in the title role of Eugene O’Neill’s play Anna Christie. Her sartorial mentor for the awards, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, has already helped Wilson choose a dress.

The BBC have reportedly ordered a third season of Luther! Idris Elba is confirmed to be returning but no word on Ruth however she has expressed a desire to return to the series for a third season so lets hope we get to see Alice on screen again!

Indie-Wire: The second season hasn’t aired on BBC America for stateside audiences yet (that’s coming late next month; UK audiences saw all season 2 episodes already earlier this year)… no matter, BBC One controller Danny Cohen announced at the ongoing Edinburgh TV Festival (running this weekend) that a 3rd season of Luther, the critically acclaimed psychological crime drama starring one Idris Elba, has been ordered!

Season 2 reportedly outperformed season 1, on average, attracting over 5 million viewers and was well received by critics.

No word yet as to how many episodes season 3 will have, or when it will air, though I’d expect it’ll be sometime in mid 2012.

Last night Ruth joined co-star Jude Law to celebrate the press night for Anna Christie. Various pictures from the even have been added to the gallery, you can also read a review of the play here by The Guardian.

The acting matches the production’s visual power. Ruth Wilson, following in the footsteps of Greta Garbo on screen and Natasha Richardson on stage, not only vividly embodies O’Neill’s description of Anna as “a tall, blond, Viking-daughter”, she also has the haunted look of a woman traumatised by her past. Ogled by the sailors in a waterfront bar, she chases them away with undisguised fury.

But what Wilson captures with seeming effortlessness are the contradictions inside Anna: the aching loneliness of soul, the temporary satisfaction that stems from Mat’s love and the final desolate uncertainty as he takes once more to the sea.
