Rosalind Eleazar is the 38-year-old British actress who spent a decade building a respected career on stage and television before a single film made her impossible to ignore. As the title character in Chris Rock’s Misty Green, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2026, she delivered what the festival called a career-making performance — and earned a place among GQ’s 13 Breakout Stars of 2026.
To most viewers she was already familiar as MI5 agent Louisa Guy in Apple TV+’s Emmy-winning spy drama Slow Horses, and to Netflix audiences as Detective Kat Donovan in the hit thriller Missing You. But Misty Green, her first lead role in a feature film, has turned a steadily rising actress into an awards-season name. This biography covers her age, height, career, husband, net worth and the breakout year of 2026.

Early Life
Rosalind Eleazar was born on 29 August 1988 in London, England, to a British mother and a Ghanaian father. Her father was Major Courage Quashigah, a senior figure in Ghana’s government, according to Hello! magazine. A handful of profiles list 4 February 1988 instead, but the August date is used by most recent profiles and fits the age of 38 reported by GQ and USA Today in November 2026.
Eleazar did not take the direct route into acting. She first studied Chinese and Spanish at the University of Nottingham and worked for a production company in Ghana before deciding to train as an actress. She enrolled at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and graduated in 2015, at 27 — later than most drama-school graduates, after trying other careers first.
Career
Her screen career began in 2015 with The Lost Village, and she built her reputation through British television — Christine in the BBC thriller Rellik, Jacky Bast in Howards End, Kate in the ITV drama Deep Water, plus roles in Harlots, NW and National Treasure — alongside theatre work in London, where she first won critical notice.
Her feature-film debut came in 2019 as Agnes in Armando Iannucci’s The Personal History of David Copperfield, followed by a screen version of Uncle Vanya in 2020. In 2022 she joined Apple TV+’s Slow Horses as MI5 agent Louisa Guy, a role she has played through six seasons; the sixth wrapped in October 2026, with a seventh season in production. Her American television debut followed in 2023 as Dr Vivienne McCann in the FX series Class of ’09, opposite Kate Mara and Brian Tyree Henry.
Her biggest television success so far arrived in January 2025, when she led Netflix’s Harlan Coben thriller Missing You as Detective Kat Donovan, whose long-lost fiancé suddenly reappears through a dating app. The series was a major hit for Netflix, and it also brought Eleazar an unexpected kind of attention: viewers noticed the distinctive appearance of her hands, and reports identified a congenital condition, symbrachydactyly, as the cause. Eleazar herself has not publicly discussed the condition, and it has not slowed a career that has only accelerated since. Her steady rise through prestige television puts her in the company of actors such as Noah Wyle, whose medical drama The Pitt has dominated the same awards conversations, and Ross Lynch, who also moved from teen television into adult drama.
Misty Green and the Breakout Year
Misty Green is the film that changed Eleazar’s standing in the industry. Written and directed by Chris Rock — his first feature as a director since Top Five in 2014 — and released by A24, it stars Eleazar as a once-promising actress whose career has stalled and who fights for a second act when she is offered a role in a remake of the movie musical Dreamgirls. Rock also co-stars, alongside Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Topher Grace.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2026, where Eleazar received a Tribute Performer Award on 13 September alongside Helen Mirren, Penélope Cruz and Isabelle Huppert. Critics were divided on the film but near-unanimous about its star: Variety called it the best Hollywood movie in years and her performance brilliant, while IndieWire called her “stunning”. USA Today reported in November 2026 that some awards pundits predict a Golden Globe nomination, with a potential Oscar nod to follow.
Misty Green opened in theatres on 9 October 2026 and is now streaming on Netflix. The same autumn, GQ named Eleazar one of its 13 Breakout Stars of 2026. In her GQ interview she recalled finishing Misty Green with an overnight shoot, flying to London and going straight into rehearsals with Ralph Fiennes — and said her mother, at the Toronto premiere, sat there “just sending pictures and she just had tears in her eyes.” She is currently shooting a film role she is not yet allowed to discuss, according to reports from Toronto.
Personal Life
Eleazar is married to actor Gabriele Lo Giudice, whom she met while training at LAMDA. Lo Giudice, also known as Gabriel Farnese, is an Italian-born actor whose credits include the series Atlanta and Leonardo. The couple began dating in 2017 and married on 23 September 2023 in a ceremony on the Greek island of Paros, according to Hello! magazine and several entertainment profiles. They keep their life together largely private, and it is not publicly known whether they have children.
She has spoken openly about the less glamorous side of her career. Around Misty Green she admitted there were times when she questioned whether acting was the right path at all, and said she understood the repeated rejection her character experiences. She has also described a frightening experience that echoed her Missing You role: she was catfished by a man she met through a dating app, an experience she called one of the most frightening of her life. Her hand condition, widely reported after Missing You, is something she has chosen not to discuss publicly.
Her path has been longer than most breakout stories — a university degree, a late start at drama school, a decade of supporting roles. Her fellow GQ Breakout Star of 2026, Anthony Ippolito, took a similarly unlikely route to his breakthrough, playing Sylvester Stallone in I Play Rocky.
Rosalind Eleazar Net Worth 2026
Rosalind Eleazar’s net worth has not been officially disclosed, and published figures are estimates that vary widely. Entertainment profiles put the range at roughly $1 million to $6 million, with some sites citing a figure of around $4 million. No single number is reliable enough to state as fact, so the range is given here with attribution.
Her income comes from acting across television, film and stage. A leading role in a Netflix hit (Missing You), a six-season run on an Emmy-winning Apple TV+ drama (Slow Horses) and now a starring film role with awards buzz (Misty Green) put her earning power at its highest point.
