Besides ‘Transcendence’, actress Hall also has ‘Iron man 3’ in her kitty. She might not be as big a name as Depp, is yet she has given some stellar performances since her debut in 2006 and made quite a prominent mark in the industry. Her performances in ‘Vicky Christina Barcelona’, ‘Please Give’ and ‘The Town’ have been critically appreciated. Rebecca was nominated at the Empire Awards, for Best Newcomer in 2006. She gave an outstanding performance in the 2008 movie ‘Frost/Nixon’. In 2010, the English actress won the supporting actress BAFTA for her portrayal of Paula Garland in ‘Red Riding: In the year of Our Lord 1974’.
