  1. A change of course

    Wright started out as a model when she was 14 years old, and that was the beginning of her career.

  2. A change of course

    After Season 4 in 2016, Wright said she believed Claire Underwood matched Frank Underwood and asked for the same pay as her co-star Kevin Spacey. Netflix agreed.

  3. Behind the camera

    In April 2019, Wright's first feature film as a director, Land, was announced. She also took the lead role of Edee Mathis, a lawyer who goes to the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming to grieve.

  4. A first

    In 2019 Wright earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for her last turn as Underwood. She is one of seven women nominated six or more times in the category for one show, the first since Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit a decade earlier.
