As with any period drama, part of the appeal of Bridgerton is that it immerses the viewer in a distant place and time. With its lush costumes and its compelling romantic storylines, it’s everything that one could desire from a period piece. It’s also true, however, that another major contributor to the series’ enduring appeal for audiences is the fact that it features a number of fascinating characters, one of the most important of which is Daphne Bridgerton.

The actress who portrays her, Phoebe Dynefor, has also appeared in a number of other movies and TV shows, which the users of IMDb have helpfully rated.

The Colour Room (2021) – 6.8

Given that Dynevor excels at showing how fiercely independent Daphne Bridgerton is, it’s not surprising that she would play a similarly driven character in The Colour Room. It is Dynevor’s feature movie debut, and she captures the indomitable spirit of her character, Clarice Cliff, a factory worker who takes risks and chances in an early 20th century factory in which she works.

Monroe (2011-2012) – 7.6
