Hera Hilmar
Known for
Hera Hilmar is the sort of actress with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. 'See' counts among the more visible credits. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. 'Mortal Engines' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Hester Shaw.
