Sophie Rundle hits her peak as Ada Shelby in 'Peaky Blinders'

Rundle started off her career with roles that were mostly inclined towards comedy, but the actress soon made her way to playing more complex characters.

Sophie Rundle struggled quite a lot to acquire the Birmingham accent for her character Ada Shelby on BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders'. Coming from creator Steven Knight, Ada Shelby is the only girl child of the notorious Shelby family better known as the infamous Peaky Blinders.

Rundle's Ada is not a regular 20th-century woman who was made to stay indoors. Instead, as we have seen over the course of the show, she is a communist who does not abide by her family's values but at the same time would kill anyone who tries to harm her three brothers, Thomas (Cillian Murphy), Arthur (Paul Anderson), and John Shelby (Joe Cole).
