There are many paths that lead to Hollywood, but only Hawkins can claim to have arrived there fuelled by David Walliams’ projectile vomit. From supporting roles in comedy sketch series, Little Britain, to leading lady duty in the latest from Guillermo Del Toro, her rise to stardom has been not so much meteoric as gradual, but unceasing. Her filmography is satisfyingly diverse, from parts in some of Woody Allen’s worst work (Cassandra’s Dream) as well as his best (Blue Jasmine), to spearheading feminist feel-gooder, Made in Dagenham. What remains true, as it has since her earliest screen appearances, is that there’s a compelling sense of mischief and mystery to Hawkins. She brings it to every role. In The Shape of Water, she takes on the mannerisms of a silent screen siren as mute cleaning lady Elisa, who finds love with an otherworldly creature and resolves to save him from a grisly end. In many ways, it was a role she was born to play.
