Rebekah Wainwright (born September 16, 1988) is an Irish film and stage actress known for her work on The Tudors, Opus K and How to Be Happy. She is from Dublin, Ireland, and attended Trinity College there. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting Studies.

Wainwright worked behind the scenes in production before moving to acting herself. She started acting with stage performing before landing a small part on the television show The Roaring Twenties.[1]

The Tudors[edit]

On The Tudors, Wainwright played Catherine Brandon, representing the real life Catherine Willoughby, 12th Baroness Willoughby de Eresby. She plays opposite Henry Cavill, who portrays the real life Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. Baroness Willoughby was Brandon's fourth wife in real life and second on the show. Wainwright first appeared in the last episode of season 1, titled The Death of Wolsey. She subsequently appears on 13 more episodes through the rest of the series.[2]

Of her character, Wainwright stated:

"Catherine is extremely wise and intelligent when it comes to the politics within the court, giving Brandon advice on how to approach the King! I like also how the loving relationship between Brandon and Catherine parallels the troubled relationship of King Henry [VIII] and Anne Boleyn. And of course, the chance to work with such talented cast and crew was very appealing."

"Catherine is a very strong young woman. She is catapulted into the role of Duchess of Suffolk at just seventeen, can you imagine that? Thankfully the relationship between her and Brandon is a strong, loving one. She trusts him completely. Catherine is very politically-minded. She has complete support for Queen Catherine of Aragon and her marriage to King Henry, and she despises the Boleyn family."

Wainwright is represented by Inspire Entertainment in Los Angeles and Independent Talent Group in London.

She is listed in the books The Year in Television, 2009: A Catalog of New and Continuing Series, Miniseries, Specials and TV Movies by Vincent Terrace[3] and The Tudors on Film and Television by Sue Parrill and William B. Robison.[4]
