Juno Violet Temple (born 21 July 1989) is an English actress.
Juno Temple was born in London, and is the daughter of producer Amanda Pirie and film director Julien Temple. She grew up in Somerset, England and attended Enmore Primary School, Bedales School and King's College, Taunton. She has two younger brothers, Leo Temple and Felix Temple.
Temple began her career as a child actress in the 1997 film Vigo: Passion for Life, a film about Jean Vigo. Another film directed by her father starred Juno in 2000 when she played Emma Southey in Pandaemonium.
She has won critical praise for several supporting roles. One reviewer said that she played her part in Notes on a Scandal with "petulance and angst", while her performance as Lola Quincey in Atonement has been called "impressive". She auditioned to play Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but lost out to Evanna Lynch. Some of her other film credits include Celia in St. Trinian's and St. Trinian's II: The Legend of Fritton's Gold, Drippy (Jennifer Logan) in Wild Child, and Jane Parker in The Other Boleyn Girl. In 2009, Temple starred as Eema in the comedy Year One alongside Jack Black and Michael Cera. She also played Anna in Jaco Van Dormael's Mr. Nobody and Di Radfield in the adaption of Sheila Kohler's Cracks.
