5 Stellar Juno Temple Roles for Your Post-Lasso Blues
The actress's career spans decades.
The beloved Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso, concluded nearly two weeks ago, ending a four-year journey that brought hope and joy to viewers worldwide. Despite the show's overwhelming popularity, it closed its curtains as originally planned by creator Jason Sudeikis, who intended to tell a three-part story and chose to end the show as intended even though fans were eager for more.
Over the course of three seasons, viewers became deeply invested in the richly layered characters and their compelling narratives. Consequently, the series' conclusion is tinged with a sense of loss as we face the prospect of never seeing these beloved characters again.
One character who captivated the hearts and minds of fans is Juno Temple's Keeley Jones. For those already missing her, let's revisit five of Temple's most memorable roles:
-
Thistlewit (the Maleficent franchise, 2014, 2019)
In Disney's reinterpretation of their classic film Sleeping Beauty, Juno Temple portrays one of Aurora's fairy godmothers. If you didn't notice her before, don't berate yourself — her character was quite literally diminutive, making it easy to overlook her familiar face.
-
Fanny Robin (Far from the Madding Crowd, 2015)
In this historical drama, Temple plays a young farm girl. While her character may not be central to the plot, her tragic fate greatly heightens the film's overall dramatic intensity.
-
Mackenzie (Meadowland, 2015)
In this drama from Olivia Wilde, Temple's role may be brief and peripheral to the storyline, yet it provides a unique lens through which to appreciate her acting prowess.
-
Lola (Atonement, 2007)
In this Oscar-winning film adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel, Temple is nearly unrecognisable as one of the key characters. Young, curly-haired, and full-figured, her performance adds a special spark to the movie.
-
Polly (Note on a Scandal, 2006)
At only sixteen, Temple held her own amongst a star-studded cast, including Dame Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett, and Bill Nighy. While her role as Blanchett's character's daughter may not have been central to the plot, she still left a mark in this psychological thriller.
