When director Andrea Arnold was planning her remake of Wuthering Heights (out this fall), she asked to meet Kaya Scodelario for the role of Catherine Earnshaw, but the 20-year-old British actress was a no-show. Scodelario, who was raised by a single mom in working-class London, honed her acting chops as the depressive Effy Stonem on the lurid teen romp Skins rather than at some Shakespeare-soliloquizing academy and didn't think she could pull off a period piece. But Arnold, who favors a gritty Ken Loach-style approach to filmmaking, wanted raw, unbridled energy-the kind Scodelario had channeled so well as an aching adolescent.

The pop star reportedly contracted both private and hospital security to ensure her and the baby's safety, had bulletproof glass installed in the windows of her maternity suite, and took over an entire floor of rooms, for $1.3 million.
