The life and rise of 'Westworld' star Evan Rachel Wood, who was nominated for a Golden Globe as a teenager and has a deep connection to music and activism

Evan Rachel Wood has been a famous actress for half of her life.

Now 30, she first gained fame for her  breakout leading role in 2003's "Thirteen," which snagged her a Golden Globe nomination.

After that film's success, she continued to appear in smaller independent films. Toward the later 2000s, her roles made her more high-profile thanks to meaty stints in Oscar-nominated films including "The Wrestler" and "The Ides of March."

Now, she's one of the best actors on television, starring on HBO's "Westworld" as Dolores Abernathy, a dangerous host with free will, and a primary anti-hero in the second season, airing now on HBO.

Wood is also an activist for women's rights, an outspoken victim of sexual assault, and an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights.
