Georgina Elizabeth Rylance (born 20 April 1976) is an English actress, best known for Dinotopia.
Early life
Born in Ladbroke Grove in 1976, Rylance has a younger sister, Charlotte, and is the daughter of Judge John Rylance QC, a circuit judge, by his marriage to Philippa Bailey. She was educated at St Paul’s Girls’ School, London, Downe House School, St Edward’s School, Oxford, and Oxford Brookes University.
After being recruited in a pub on the Portobello Road, London, during the Notting Hill Carnival, the eighteen-year-old Rylance embarked on a short modelling career which included a Coca-Cola commercial. However, it ended when she accepted a place at Oxford Brookes to read politics and publishing.
She then trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. While she was a drama student, she was a regular in the audience at the Gate Theatre.
Personal life
In 2008, she met Canadian doctor Greg Bailey in Los Angeles and in 2009 was living with him in an apartment in Knightsbridge, London. The same year, she spent a month in Antarctica and several weeks in Peru, working in an orphanage.
In 2011, she did a tandem skydive to raise money for CRISIS charity.
In 2015, her father announced Rylance’s engagement to Giuseppe (Peppe) Ciardi, and their son Teodoro was born in February 2016. Georgina Rylance played the on-screen daughter of Mark Rylance in the 2005 movie The Government Inspector.
