We don’t have generational wealth to fall back on when we don’t succeed, thus making it more difficult or impossible for someone in the lowest class to make it as a top billed actor.
Neither did Olivia Colman: Her mother was a nurse, her father a surveyor. Decidedly middle class, but she was not born into wealth, nor the children of famous people. She studied to become a teacher, before she got a few small roles in British TV and build a career out of that. She went the long way.
I don’t have generational wealth like many of these actors do. There’s also a lot of nepotism and if you are not an industry insider, it’s near impossible to even meet people who have connections in the industry.
Sounds easy. Why don’t you go do it?

She is not from the lowest class, or a top billed actor, to be fair.
