Rosamund Pike: biography and career







Rosamund Mary Elizabeth Pike was born on 27 January, 1979 in London, England. Rosamund is the only child of a classical violinist mother and an opera singer father. Her parent's work meant she spent her early childhood travelling around Europe, and can speak fluent German and French as a result. 
While she was still at university, Rosamund made appearances on British television shows, including A Rather English Marriage (1998), Wives and Daughters (1999), and Love in a Cold Climate (2001). Pike was only 21 years old when her big break came and she was cast as glacial beauty Miranda Frost in the James Bond film, Die Another day (2002). Pike played Elizabeth Malet in The Libertine co-starring Johnny Depp, which won her the "Best Supporting Actress" award at the British Independent Film Awards. In the same year, she portrayed Rose in The Promised Land (a film about Israel), as well as starring as scientist Samantha Grimm in the cinematic adaptation of the computer game Doom. In 2005, she appeared as Jane, the elder sister of Elizabeth (played by Keira Knightley), in Pride & Prejudice. She appeared in the British film Made in Dagenham and in the Canadian film Barney's Version where she plays Miriam. Pike plays the part of Kate Sumner in the 2011 Bond-spoof film Johnny English Reborn, playing a psychologist and English's love interest.
She is a skilled cellist and speaks fluent German and French. As of 25 February 2012, Pike is reported to be seven months pregnant with her first child. The father is Robie Uniacke, a businessman 16 years Pike's senior, who she has been dating since December 2009.
