Summary at a Glance

Madison has been thrust into the spotlight following her breakout role as Ani in Anora, a performance that has earned her critical acclaim and secured her a nomination for the EE Rising Star Award, the only BAFTA category voted for by the public.

The 25-year-old actress, who captivated audiences with her stunning performance in Sean Baker’s Anora, is nominated for two BAFTA Film Awards this weekend, marking a major milestone in her rising career.

“I’m always happy to celebrate film and celebrate Anora, because I feel like it’s such a special character, and I had such a wonderful experience making the film.

Madison plays the titular character, a sex worker who impulsively marries a young Russian heir, only to find herself on the run when his powerful family intervenes.

“I think the experience I had on Anora was so wonderful and transformative that I'm looking always to kind of go deeper with that and something really that will challenge me.”.
