Ferguson had her career breakthrough as an actor in 1999, when she began starring as Anna Gripenhielm on the Swedish soap opera “Nya tider.” After leaving the show, she had a guest role on the soap opera “Ocean Ave.” in 2002. Later in the decade, Ferguson appeared in the British series “Wallander.” However, it was her starring role in the 2013 British miniseries “The White Queen” that propelled her to international fame. Portraying the titular 15th-century Queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Ferguson earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film. She went on to star as the Biblical character Dinah in the American miniseries “The Red Tent.” Based on the novel by Anita Diamant, it premiered on Lifetime in late 2014.
