July 1

Hannah Murray (born 1 July 1989) is an English actress, best known for playing Cassie Ainsworth in the E4 teen drama Skins from 2007 to 2008.

 Murray's first television role was in Skins, playing the role of Cassie Ainsworth, a gentle, "spacey", yet self-destructive teenager with an eating disorder. At nearly 17 years old, she had learned that auditions were taking place for the series through her local youth theatre and decided to audition for the experience. She and April Pearson were the first two to get cast for the show. Murray went on to appear in the first two series which broadcast in 2007–2008 on E4. Along with the primary cast members, she left at the end of the show's second series to make way for a new generation of characters. On the decision to replace the cast, Murray has said that "it would be really silly to be in a teenage drama if you're no longer a teenager"

 Romola Sadie Garai is an English actress. She is known for appearing in the films Amazing Grace, Atonement, Glorious 39, and in BBC series like Emma, The Hour and The Crimson Petal and the White.
Garai guards her private life, saying, "It's too simplistic to say that people start to believe what's written about them. But what happens is that you become a certain way to please people, to be liked, to be what's expected of you, to change yourself so that you become the best possible version of yourself for people who don't know you. And I think that's a terrible, pernicious thing." She adds, "In a way, I'd rather go into an interview and be disliked, and have unpleasant things written about me, than to have a wonderful, glowing article written that is in no way a reflection of who I am."
Garai enjoys travelling and cooking in her spare time, calling it 'therapeutic' in many ways. She has visited Hong Kong, Malaysia, Italy, Austria, Morocco, Switzerland and the United States, "To be the outsider for a period of time changes you for the better. It shakes up your comfort level. You have to really make an effort to enter into other people's culture and psychology and language, which the British are very bad at doing."
She is currently expecting her first child with her boyfriend, British actor Sam Hoare
