Carey Mulligan is making a splash in Hollywood with her performance in "An Education" and will next be seen in the sequel to "Wall Street."

She doesn't see this as a huge change from the acting work she's done in England. "Honestly, the main difference is the catering. The catering in America is so much better.

"But really, every job is the same in terms of the fear that you feel walking into the room on the first day. The desperation to please the director and to fit in with everybody else."

Carey Mulligan is having a good year.

She just made her Broadway debut in "The Seagull" with Kristin Scott Thomas, and she was an audience and critic favorite at the Sundance Film Festival in "An Education."

"An Education" sparked a bidding war at the festival.

She also appeared in "The Greatest" this year with Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon, for which she had to learn a new accent.

Mulligan made her film debut in "Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightly at an open casting call.

All this is in spite of the fact that she's never had any formal training.

Instead, she gets her training working with some of the greats in the industry like Emma Thompson, Sarandon, Brosnan, and Sally Hawkins.
