Early life
Born in 1978, the daughter of Judge John Rylance QC, a circuit judge, she was educated at St Paul's Girls' School, London, Downe House School, Berkshire, and St Edward's School, Oxford.
At the age of eighteen, Rylance was recruited by a model scout who met her in a pub on the Portobello Road, London, during the Notting Hill Carnival. This led to a short modelling career which included a Coca-Cola commercial. However, she accepted a place at Oxford Brookes University and read politics and publishing.
She then trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. While she was a drama student, she was a regular in the audience at the Gate Theatre.
Personal life
In 2008, she met Canadian doctor Greg Bailey in Los Angeles and in 2009 was living with him in an apartment in Knightsbridge, London. The same year, she spent a month in Antarctica and several weeks in Peru, working in an orphanage.
In 2011, she did a tandem skydive to raise money for CRISIS charity.
Family
As of 2016, she is married with a son. She is not a close relative of the actor and director Mark Rylance but believes that, since both their families come from the same places in Lancashire and France, they may be cousins. Georgina Rylance played the on-screen daughter of Mark Rylance in the 2005 movie The Government Inspector.
