Life and career

[edit]

Natalia de Molina was born on 19 December 1990 in Linares,[1][2] in the province of Jaén, although she was raised in Granada since age 2.[3] Her uncle is an actor and theatre director and her elder sister Celia is also an actress.[4][5] She moved to Málaga when she was 18 years old to study performing arts (musical specialisation) at the local Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático, later moving to Madrid before finishing her degree.[4]

She made her feature film debut in David Trueba's 2013 comedy-drama Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed,[6][7] portraying Belén, an unmarried pregnant woman in Francoist Spain.[4] Her breakout performance earned her the Goya Award for Best New Actress.[6] She was recognised among the recipients of the 2015 Shooting Stars Award presented by European Film Promotion at the 65th Berlinale.[8] In 2016, she won the Goya Award for Best Actress for her role as unemployed single mother in Food and Shelter, thereby becoming the youngest actress to win two Goya awards.[9][10]

In 2018, she was invited to membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[11]
