Her Father is a big star
Elva Dornan’s father Jamie doesn’t need any introduction. From his work in his different genres, he gained worldwide prominence. Initially, he gained fame as a model and modeled for big fashion labels like Hugo Boss, Dior Homme, and Calvin Klein.
He later decided to give acting a go, though at first, it was quite difficult. Not only did Jamie have to work in a whole different field, but he also had to fight the stigma of a ‘model turned actor.’
Jamie made his debut with the movie Marie Antoinette, directed by Sofia Coppola. He gained initial fame after he starred in the 2011 series, Once Upon a Time in which he played the role of Sheriff Graham.

In addition, she also featured in the 2000 BBC adaption of Lorna Doone. Amelia’s career in the acting field came to an end after her frustration with the casting director. In an interview with The Telegraph, she said,
“It wasn’t fulfilling. You have no control, there is no responsibility, you go to the audition, and you either get the part or you don’t – that’s as much choice as you have. Then a year later you see the end product and you can be in a completely different film from the one you thought you were making. It started to get really frustrating.”
Eventually, she decided to give music a try, and it worked out really well for her. She released her first studio album Renditions in 2011. For her work in the 2017 movie, Mark Shelley, Elva even won an IFMCA Award in the category, of Breakthrough Composer of the Year.
