Lily Jane Collins (born 18 March 1989) is a British and American actress and model. Born in Guildford, Surrey and raised in Los Angeles, Collins began performing on screen at the age of two in the BBC sitcom Growing Pains. In the late 2000s, Collins began acting and modelling more regularly, and she had a career breakthrough with her performance in the sports-drama film The Blind Side, which was the third highest-grossing film of 2009. She went on to appear in leading roles across feature films such as the sci-fi action-horror Priest (2011), the psychological action-thriller Abduction (2011), the fantasy Mirror Mirror (2012), the urban fantasy The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013), and the independent romantic comedies Stuck in Love (2012), The English Teacher (2013), and Love, Rosie (2014). Collins was critically acclaimed for her roles as Marla Mabrey in the comedy Rules Don't Apply (2016), which earned her a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and for her portrayal of a young adult with anorexia in the controversial Netflix drama To the Bone (2017). She has also achieved recognition for her work in biographical films: she starred as Liz Kendall in the Netflix drama Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019), as J.R.R. Tolkien's wife Edith in Tolkien (2019), and as Rita Alexander in Mank (2020), the latter of which was a critical success, earning 10 Academy Award nominations. Collins played Fantine in the BBC miniseries adaptation of Les Misérables (2018–2019), and, since 2020, she has portrayed Emily Cooper in the Netflix series Emily in Paris. For the latter, she received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy. She made her writing debut with Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me (2017) in which she discussed her struggles with mental health, including an eating disorder she suffered as a teenager.
What to do when you fall in love with the person you least expect? After being accidentally locked in the library for the entire weekend, Autumn Collins doesn't think things can get any worse. But she realizes that she is not alone. Dax Miller is locked in with her. Autumn doesn't know much about Dax, except that he's trouble. Between the rumors about a fight he got into (and the brief stint in juvie that followed) and his reputation for being antisocial, he's not exactly the best weekend company. Still, Autumn tries to stay calm and remember that it's only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her. But Jeff doesn't show up. Nobody shows up. In the face of this, it's clear that Autumn will have to spend the weekend eating cereal bars and trying to talk to a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Until she realizes there's so much more to Dax than he lets on. As Autumn and Dax open up to each other, she's amazed at their connection. But will the feelings survive when the weekend is over and Autumn's life returns to normal?
