Biography

Dolly Wells, a talented and multifaceted individual, entered this world on December 5, 1971, in the charming district of Merton, located in the vibrant city of London, England, United Kingdom.

As an accomplished actress and writer, Wells has had the privilege of appearing in a wide range of notable productions, including the 2016 parody film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which cleverly reimagines Jane Austen's classic novel in a humorous and action-packed way.

Wells' impressive repertoire also includes the 2001 romantic comedy Bridget Jones's Diary, which was based on the bestselling novel by Helen Fielding and starred Renée Zellweger in the title role.

Moreover, Wells co-created, wrote, and starred in the 2013 comedy-drama series Doll & Em, which aired on Sky Atlantic and HBO, and explored the complex and often humorous dynamics between two best friends, played by Wells and her real-life friend Emily Mortimer.

In her personal life, Wells has been married to her husband, Mischa Richter, since 2000, and the couple has been blessed with two wonderful children.
