Charlie Savoy - ACTRESS
Charlotte “Charlie” Savoy is a stage and screen actress and coartistic director of the Chamberlain Summer Theater. She is also a star and producer of the Emmy-winning reality series Backstage at the Chamberlain. Daughter of famed Shakespearean actress Dame Sarah Rose Kingsbury and jazz trumpeter Reggie Fairfield, she was born in New York, New York, but grew up primarily in London with her mother after her father left to pursue his music career. She won a host of supporting actress awards (British Independent Film Award, Independent Spirit, Critics’ Choice) and even more nominations (Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe) for her plucky Ariel in Nicholas Blunt’s The Tempest, but took a hiatus (“a self-imposed exile,” she later said) after creative differences caused her to drop out of Blunt’s psychological action film Dawn of the Super Id. The indie Midnight Daydream, in which she starred, has since gone on to achieve cult status. Her next film is Nicholas Blunt’s as-yet-untitled, highly anticipated return to the big screen, a project shrouded in secrecy and scheduled for release in time for awards season.
