Killarney’s Jessie Buckley has been included on this year's Forbes '30 under 30' list – a list of the world’s leading young innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders.

The 29 year-old has been recognised in the Entertainment category for her performance in the 2018 film 'Beast', a thriller set on a small island. The part earned her a 2019 BAFTA nomination for the Rising Star award - but she lost out to British actress Letitia Wright, who also made Forbes' list.
Jessie got her start in BBC talent series ‘I'd Do Anything’ in 2008, where unknowns competed to play Nancy in ‘Oliver!’ on the West End.
