Jessica's ballet dream was unfortunately cut short when she developed ankle complications during her third year of study at the Arts Educational School in Hertfordshire. The complications forced her to undergo three operations, the last of which was unsuccessful.

Acting career

Afterwards, the actress landed a role in a drama-comedy television series known as Misfits. She played the role of a mystical religious girl who could convince just about anyone to leave their aberrant behavior. However, her character only lasted two episodes.
After being cast into the limelight for her role in Albatross, Jessica landed what is probably her biggest role to date, that of Lady Sybil Crawley in the ITV series Downton Abbey.
Why did Jessica Brown Findlay leave Downton? She became the first major cast member to leave the show after her character passed away due to pre-eclampsia in season 3. Nevertheless, the actress had hinted from the beginning that she would only be part of the show for three years, after which she would leave.
After leaving Downton, the actress appeared in an episode of Black Mirror playing the role of Abi. The episode's main storyline revolved around a dystopian future in which people can only escape captivity by auditioning in front of reality television judges.
