Personal life
Greenwell was born in Greenwich, Connecticut,[1] to a French mother and an English father.[2][3] The family moved back to London's South Kensington neighbourhood before her second birthday. She attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art for a year. Greenwell said it was good, but it made her realise she did not want to go to drama school before trying her luck at a pilot season in Los Angeles, California. Shameless, the Emmy-winning Showtime drama, was her first job. She booked it when she was 22. Prior to that she was planning on returning to London. Booking Shameless forced her to rent a car and find an apartment, so she did not return to London for nine months.[4][5][6]
Greenwell is married and the couple have a child together.[7][8]
