Many of Anna Taylor-Joy's fans are unaware of the actress' unique background. The English-Argentine actress was born in Miami in 1996, and spent her entire life growing up between Argentina and England, with Spanish being her first language (via WSJ Magazine).
Her Argentinian heritage also makes her the first Latina actress to win in the Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television category (via E!).
Taylor-Joy has even considered a Spanish-speaking project. In an interview from last year, she told the Golden Globes, "I have always wanted to work with Guillermo Del Toro. I feel his relationship with the supernatural is very much like mine. He understands my brain and my heart very well. So I would love to work with him."
On the heels of such a monumental win she won't have trouble getting foreign language film offers, but as she explained to the outlet, "I haven't had much time to figure it out. I am just waiting for the right project. It needs to be something special because it's a very special part of my life, it's a very special part of my soul. Spanish is my first language. But while I am very good at accents in English because I mimic a lot, in Spanish I have a very thick Argentine accent. So I wonder how difficult it would be when I will speak Spanish. But I am up for the challenge."
