Despite Lucy being from California, she’s actually British
Ella Purnell was born in Whitechapel and grew up in Bethnal Green – where she trained at Sylvia Young as a kid and was always performing. She got her first few roles when she was a kid. She now lives in LA, which I’m sure helped with the accent she needs for Fallout!
