Jemima Kirke (born 26 April 1985) is a British-American artist, actress and director.

She gained international acclaim through her role as Jessa Johansson in the 2012 HBO series Girls.^[1] She made her film debut in the 2005 indie short Smile for the Camera and her feature-length debut in Tiny Furniture,^[2] as a favour for her childhood friend Lena Dunham.

Early life and family

Born in London on 26 April 1985,^[3] Jemima Kirke moved to New York when she was just 11 years old and was then raised in New York City.^[4] She is the daughter of Simon Kirke, the former drummer of the rock bands Bad Company and Free.^[5] Her mother is Lorraine Kirke (née Dellal), the owner of Geminola, a vintage boutique in New York City that supplied a number of outfits for the television series Sex and the City.^[6] Her character Jessa wore a wedding dress from Geminola in the season finale of the first season of Girls; also, earlier in her career, she was featured along with her sisters in a fashion piece in Teen Vogue in which they wore clothing from the store.^[7]

Her father is of English and Scottish descent (the Kirkes being a junior branch of a family of Nottinghamshire landed gentry and descending also from the Gibson-Craig baronets)^[8]^[9] and her mother is Jewish.^[10] Kirke's maternal grandfather, Jack Dellal, was a British businessman of Iraqi-Jewish descent and her maternal grandmother, Zehava Helmer, was an Israeli flight attendant.^[11]^[12]^[13] Kirke has two sisters, actress Lola Kirke and singer and actress Domino Kirke.^[14]^[15]^[16] She is a cousin of curator Alexander Dellal,^[17] shoe designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal and model/photographer Alice Dellal.^[17]

Art

Jemima Kirke majored in art as a student and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008.^[18] In late 2011, she held an exhibition titled "A Brief History" through Skylight Projects.^[19] In late 2017 to early 2018, she had a show at Sargeant's Daughters, a Lower East Side gallery,^[20] where she exhibited portrait-style paintings, some of them neck-up, others full-figure, of women in their wedding dresses. Kirke was inspired by her own divorce and the exhibition also contained a self-portrait of Kirke in her wedding dress and veil.^[21]^[22] In 2019 she opened a solo show called “SCAMP” at Sargeant's Daughters gallery. ^[23]

In September 2022, Kirke presented for Batsheva Hay's spring collection at Ben's Kosher Deli.^[24]

Acting

Kirke reading poetry in New York City in 2023

Growing up in the West Village, Kirke found herself accepting a number of roles on her friends' projects. Dunham asked Kirke to take on a supporting role in her debut film Tiny Furniture. Kirke and a number of other friends were called upon as a favour to Dunham since there was not enough money to pay professional actors.^{[citation needed]} Although the film turned out to be profitable, Kirke received no payment.^[25] Kirke reunited with Dunham in the HBO series Girls, appearing in all six seasons from 2011 to 2017 as the character Jessa Johansson. Kirke next had supporting roles in the dark comedy films Ava's Possessions and The Little Hours. In 2018, Kirke starred alongside her real-life sister Lola Kirke in Emma Forrest's film Untogether. The film premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival.^[26]

In 2011, Kirke appeared in the music video "Wring It Out" for the group Rival Schools.^[27] Both this music video and Smile for the Camera were directed by her friend Jordan Galland. In 2017, she appeared in the music video for "Gotta Get a Grip" by Mick Jagger, directed by Saam Farahmand and appeared opposite Alex Cameron in his music video for the song "Stranger's Kiss". In September 2017, Kirke appeared opposite Zayn Malik in his music video for the song "Dusk Till Dawn".

In 2021, Kirke appeared in the Netflix series Sex Education in the role of Hope, headmistress of Moordale Secondary School. In 2021, it was announced that Kirke had accepted a role in Conversations with Friends, a series based on the book of the same name by Sally Rooney, in which she plays Melissa, an older, experienced writer fascinated by a younger couple.^[28]^[29] In 2023, Kirke starred in the Apple TV+ series City on Fire, based on the book of the same name.^[30]

Directing

Kirke's directorial debut was in 2019 when she spearheaded the video for the track "Mama" by her sister Lola Kirke.^[31] She would go onto direct other projects including multiple music videos and a satire short film with Alex Cameron.^[32]

Activism

In 2015, Kirke partnered with the Center for Reproductive Rights to create a public service announcement to advance the future of reproductive healthcare.^[33] In the PSA, Kirke discusses the abortion she received in college where she could not afford the anesthesia in addition to the procedure and went without.^[33]^[34]

Personal life

Kirke resides in Red Hook, New York ^[35] and East Hampton (town). Kirke had two children during a marriage that began in 2009^[36]^[37] and ended in 2017.^[38]^[39] Kirke began a relationship with Australian musician and singer songwriter Alex Cameron in July 2017. Cameron has said that his 2019 album Miami Memory is primarily influenced by his relationship with Kirke.^[40]^[41] The couple has since separated.^[42]

Kirke is close friends with Lena Dunham, the creator of Tiny Furniture and Girls.^[1] They became friends while attending Saint Ann's School in New York City.^[1]

As of late, Kirke has developed another talent as a disc-jockey; premiering most notably as a favor for sister Lola Kirke's sold out show for the "By Your Side" tour at the Bowery Ballroom in Lower East Side.

Kirke's DJ set for sister Lola's VIP 2023 event in Manhattan.
