Florence Pugh, whose full name is Florence Rose C.M. Pugh, was born on January 3, 1996, in Oxford, England. Her father, Clinton Pugh, is a restaurateur, while her mother, Deborah Mackin, is a dancer and dance instructor. She has one brother, Toby Sebastian, and two sisters, Arabella Gibbins and Rafaela "Raffie" Pugh. During her early childhood, Florence Pugh suffered from tracheomalacia, which led to frequent hospitalizations. When she was three years old, her family moved to Sotogrande, Spain, hoping that the warmer climate would improve her health. She lived there until the age of six before returning to Oxford. She received a private education at Wychwood School and St Edward's School.

Florence Pugh made her acting debut in 2014 with the drama film The Falling. She gained widespread recognition in 2016 for her leading role as an unhappily married woman in Lady Macbeth, a performance that earned her the BIFA Award for Best Actress. Her international breakthrough came in 2019 when she portrayed professional wrestler Paige in the biographical sports film Fighting with My Family. The same year, she delivered a powerful performance as a psychologically troubled woman in the horror film Midsommar and portrayed Amy March in Little Women. Her role as Amy March earned her nominations for both the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award.

Following her success, Florence Pugh continued to build a diverse filmography. In 2022, she appeared in Don’t Worry Darling, A Good Person, and in 2023 starred in Oppenheimer. In Oppenheimer, a film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, she portrayed Jean Tatlock, the lover of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The film starred Cillian Murphy in the lead role, with Emily Blunt as Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, Gary Oldman as Harry S. Truman, and supporting performances by Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

In 2024, Florence Pugh appeared as Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Two, alongside Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, and Austin Butler.
