Biography: Since the age of six, Anna has been attending drama classes at “Allsorts Drama” school. “Allsorts” has an agency which allows children the opportunity to work professionally in film and television. Her mother is a doctor and father a barrister. She lives in London, England. Eldest of three children. Sister of Laura (Lulu) Popplewell, also part of Allsorts, who joined her in “Love in a Cold Climate”. Older sister of Freddie Popplewell.

Anna Katherine Popplewell was born on December the 16th, 1988 in London, England, UK. Her parents – Andrew (a lawyer) and Debra (an immunologist) – had two other children besides Anna, Freddie and Lulu, who are also actors. In 1994, Anna began taking classes at the Allsorts Drama School. The school was one of the few that offered classes in dramatic theatre for children, so Anna’s parents put her into the program. After a short time of study, Anna was lucky enough to get an agent in the acting business, and in 1998, she had her first professional acting job as Henrietta in the television production Frenchman’s Creek (1998). It may have been a small role, but it was enough to get Anna noticed and exposed to other potential parts in the future.

Besides acting in student production of “Five Kinds of Silence” and as Lady Macbeth in “Macbeth”, Anna has been studying English Literature at Magdalen College in Oxford, England, and currently has 2 years to go. Hopefully we will continue to see Anna in more roles as she progresses with her career and studies.
