Carndonagh has been quietly slapping itself on the back since actress Erin Doherty picked up a Golden Globe Award on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The actress plays clinical psychologist Briony Ariston in the hit Netflix show Adolescence.<\/p>\n
Erin took the award for Best Supporting Female Actor.<\/p>\n
And she is proud of her Inishowen roots.<\/p>\n
Erin\u2019s grandfather is a Carndonagh man and she often hails him as her inspiration for her curiosity about a career in acting.<\/p>\n
Doherty, who also acted in\u00a0The Crown\u00a0as Princess Anne, is from Crawley in West Sussex and now resides in North London.<\/p>\n
Previously, Doherty said that her grandfather\u2019s thick Carndonagh accent ignited her curiosity in people and their speech and mannerisms.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember being so scared of him because his voice was so booming and his accent was so thick, he sort of became this fantastical figure I could barely understand but knew I didn\u2019t want to get on the wrong side of,\u201d she told\u00a0Irish Tatler in 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s probably where my fascination with speech comes from and how our voices can have a huge impact on our relationships and how people see us.\u201d<\/p>\n
She has often spoken about her love of Inishowen and often visits the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always been so proud to have that heritage,\u201d she has said.<\/p>\n
Erin was a popular choice at the awards and used her acceptance speech to laud therapists and the role they play in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carndonagh has been quietly slapping itself on the back since actress Erin Doherty picked up a Golden Globe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-242216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
