Biografía

She actually plays the intro piano part in an early scene in Leyendas de pasión (1994).

For the title role Sabrina (1995), she was instructed to cut her waist-length hair, which did not thrill her fans.

Appeared alongside Mädchen Amick, Rachel Boston and Jenna Dewan in a public service announcement for breast cancer awareness.

Trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, whose alumni include Terence Stamp, Elizabeth Knowelden, Hugh Bonneville, Rupert Friend, Angela Lansbury, Daniel Hunt, Matthew Goode, Sue Johnston, Minnie Driver and Julian Fellowes.

She starred in three consecutive films in which she is caught between two or more men: Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn, and Henry Thomas in Leyendas de pasión (1994); Sean Connery and Richard Gere in Lancelot: el primer caballero (1995); and Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear in Sabrina (1995).

When really you've gone to drama school and rep and then you've come to London and gone to auditions and you've worked, solidly, for years. But that all gets forgotten.

That made me feel very disturbed, because it never seemed to be about how much hard work was involved. Ever. It was about... 'hazel eyes'. It does help if you can brush that stuff off.

I feel that David took a risk with me. I have a sense that by starting off in the theatre and going off to do films you are seen to sell out in some way. I don't hold truck with that, but you can't stop people from feeling it.

For sure, you don't believe the good stuff. I mean, the good stuff is just insane - wacky. If you don't take it too much to heart, it does help when the negative stuff hits. And you know the negative stuff is coming. It's got to! What comes up must come down.

At first I was a bit indignant about it, and then I realised, 'No, that's what people want, so that's what is given.' But it's not in your control. It's just what happens to you, and that's what's frightening.
