Felicity Jones' short career has won her numerous accolades, including her recent win for breakthrough actor at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, but an upcoming film will have the beautiful star playing something she's likely unaccustomed to – being the other woman.
The Daily Mail reports that Jones will play Charles Dickens' young mistress, Nelly Ternan, in the Ralph Fiennes-directed "The Invisible Woman."
The film, based on the Claire Tomalin book "The Invisible Woman: The Story Of Charles Dickens & Nelly Ternan," reveals the relationship between the married "Great Expectations" author and Ternan, who stayed with the 45-year-old Dickens from the time she was 18 until his death 13 years later.

Howard Hughes was a billionaire, a genius, a film director, an aviation magnate, a ladies' man, and eventually a recluse crippled by his anxiety and germaphobia.
From "The Aviator" to "Iron Man," Hughes' influence as a character is immeasurable, and it seems like every great director wants a crack at his or her own Hughes film. Warren Beatty has been chipping away at a Howard Hughes film for 25 years, a tenacity that Hughes himself would find admirable.
In the past two months, though, the unnamed Beatty flick is picking up steam, and it looks like he's finally found his leading lady in "Like Crazy" star Felicity Jones. (Read our interview with her here.) Get More »

It's doubtful that "Like Crazy" will rack up $100 million at the box office or garner heaps of Oscar nominations, but you can't buy the type of buzz its young star Felicity Jones is generating for it.
The 27-year-old Brit from Birmingham plays Anna, an English coed at a California college who falls truly, madly, deeply in love with Anton Yelchin's Jacob, but when she tests Customs and overstays her visa, the two must suffer a continent apart.
Jones, who won an acting prize at this year's Sundance, is drawing crazy amounts of praise for her heavily improvised role in the intimate drama that's like "Before Sunrise" for the long-distance set. Get More »
