The daughter of Royal Shakespeare Company director Peter Hall and opera diva Maria Ewing, raven-haired British actress Rebecca Hall broke into filmed entertainment before her 12th birthday, with roles in a series of made-for-television British productions including the miniseries The Camomile Lawn (1992) and the feature Don't Leave Me This Way (1993); she subsequently took a 10-year+ departure from the screen, then returned in a big way in the late 2000s, with a series of supporting roles in features including Christopher Nolan's period psychological thriller The Prestige (2006) and Tom Vaughan's romantic comedy Starter for Ten (2007). In 2008, Hall starred opposite Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in Woody Allen's romantic comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
