Oh that's her name: Emily Blunt


Any nine to nineteen year old female has at least caught a glimpse of the scene The Devil Wears Prada. The movie, a chick flick no doubt, launched an unknown actress to stardom.

Emily Blunt played the role of "Emily" in 2006's The Devil Wears Prada. From that role, she earned nominations for a Golden Globe and two MTV movie awards and won a London Critics Circle Film Award for "British Supporting Actress of the Year" and Women in Film Crystals Award for "Face of the Future".

Blunt also made an appearance in the 2007 film Dan in Real Life (which is what inspired me to write this blog about her) as a red convertible-driving date of Dane Cook. She had no lines, but it brought upon an "oh! It's that girl! The one from ... oh you know" moment.

It's no doubt that Blunt has made a name, or face, for herself, and has made herself quite a catch. The British actress has been dating jazz crooner Michael Buble since 2005.

The starlet's newest role is Sunshine Cleaning: alongside Enchanted's Amy Adams, Blunt plays the role of Adam's unreliable sister who starts a bio-hazard removal/crime clean up service to pay for her son's tuition. The film, which debuted at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival--it was purchased by Overture films and should hit national theaters soon.
