Absolutely loved her in Little Dorrit. She totally captured the essence of that iconic character. Largely thanks to her phenomenal performance it's one of my all-time favourite period dramas and I constantly return to it again and again. No wonder I was truly shocked to discover that after such a fantastic debut her career didn't really take off and for a very long time she seemed to kinda stagnate playing mostly obscure secondary roles. I am really happy that it all changed with the release of The Crown and she finally achieved the well-deserved worldwide recognition.

GQ you really don't understand the meaning of 'iconic'. Claire Foy Is talented no doubt but the only of those that you could argue is iconic is Queen Elizabeth in The Crown. Iconic characters are ones that transcend the film/show they're in to the point that people who haven't even seen them know who it is.
