Early life and family[link]

Close was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, the daughter of Bettine (née Moore) and William Taliaferro Close,^[1] a doctor who operated a clinic in the Belgian Congo and served as a personal physician to Congo/Zaire President Mobutu Sese Seko.^[2] Her parents came from prominent families. Her father was a descendant of the Taliaferros of Virginia; her paternal grandfather, Edward Bennett Close, a stockbroker and director of the American Hospital Association,^[3] was first married to Post Cereals' heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. Close is also a second cousin once-removed of actress Brooke Shields (Shields's great-grandmother Mary Elsie Moore was a sister of Close's maternal grandfather, Charles Arthur Moore, Jr.).^[4]

During her childhood, Close lived with her parents in a stone cottage on her maternal grandfather's estate, in Greenwich.^[5] Close has credited her early years for her acting abilities: "I have no doubt that the days I spent running free in the evocative Connecticut countryside with an unfettered imagination, playing whatever character our games demanded, is one of the reasons that acting has always seemed so natural to me."^[6] When she was seven years old, her parents joined a "cult group", the Moral Re-Armament, in which her family remained involved for fifteen years, living in communal centers. Close has stated that the family "struggled to survive the pressures of a culture that dictated everything about how we lived our lives." Close traveled for several years in the mid-to-late 1960s with an MRA singing group called "Up With People", and attended Rosemary Hall (now Choate Rosemary Hall), graduating in 1965.^[5][7] When she was 22, Close broke away from MRA, attending The College of William and Mary, and majoring in theatre. It was in the College's theatre department that she began to train as a serious actor, under Howard Scammon.^[8] She was elected to membership in the honor society of Phi Beta Kappa.^[5]

Close started her professional stage career in 1974, and her film work in 1982.^[5] She has been nominated for six Academy Awards, for Best Actress in Dangerous Liaisons, Fatal Attraction, and Albert Nobbs and for Best Supporting Actress in The Natural, The Big Chill and The World According to Garp (her first film).^[5] In 1984, Close starred in the critically acclaimed drama Something about Amelia, a Golden Globe-winning television movie about a family destroyed by sexual abuse. In 1987 she played the disturbed book editor Alex in Fatal Attraction, and in 1988 she played the scheming aristocrat The Marquise de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons.^[5] She played the role of Sunny von Bülow in the 1990 film Reversal of Fortune to critical acclaim.

In the 1990s, she starred in the highly rated presentation of the 1991 Hallmark Hall of Fame drama Sarah, Plain and Tall (and its two sequels) and also in the made-for-TV movie Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story (1995); from these roles, she was nominated for 8 Emmys^[9] (winning one) and 9 Golden Globes (winning one in 2005 and 2007). She also appeared in the newsroom comedy-drama The Paper (1994), and in (Steven Speilberg's) Hook she made a cameo as Gutless one the Pirates of Captain Hook's Crew who is punhished by being thrown into the Boo Box a chest filled with Scorpions for betting that Hook would not be able to bring Peter Pan back to Neverland, the alien invasion satire Mars Attacks! (1996, as The First Lady), the Disney hit 101 Dalmatians (1996, as the sinister Cruella de Vil) and its sequel 102 Dalmatians (2000), and the blockbuster Air Force One (1997), as the trustworthy vice-president to Harrison Ford's president. In 2001, she starred in a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical South Pacific. In 2005, Close joined the FX crime series The Shield, in which she played a no-nonsense precinct captain. She starred in a series of her own for 2007, Damages (also on FX) instead of continuing her character on The Shield. Close won the 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama series for her role in Damages.^[10] In an interview after her win, Close admitted her role of Patty Hewes in the series was the role of her life. Also in 2009, she narrated the environmental film Home. Glenn Close has hosted Saturday Night Live twice-once in 1989 and in 1992.^[11][12]

In December 2010, Close began filming Albert Nobbs in Dublin. She had previously won an Obie in 1982 for her role in the play on stage. She had been working on the film for 10 years,a film which she appeared with along side 101 Dalmatians Co Star Mark Williams and aside from starring in it, co-wrote the screenplay and produced the film.^[13][14] She stated at a press conference held on December 9, 2010 in Dublin, a couple of days before shooting began, "I believe in this story and its potential to take everyone on a sensuous, funny, heart-breaking, wildly unexpected ride".

In the film, Close played the title role of Albert Nobbs, a woman living her life as a man in 1800s Ireland after being sexually assaulted as a young girl. For the film, Close sat through hours of makeup to transform herself into a man. While the film itself received mixed reviews, Close and Janet McTeer received rave reviews for their performances. Close's performance was noted for being her most subtle and introverted performance yet and a departure from her other roles. Close received Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and multiple critics nominations for her performance in Albert Nobbs. On January 24, 2012, Close received her sixth Academy Award nomination, for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, for her performance. The film also received nominations for Best Supporting Actress for McTeer and Best Makeup.

Mia Wasikowska
Wasikowska at the Samsung AACTA Awards 2012 in Sydney, Australia
Born	(1989-10-14) 14 October 1989 (age 22) Canberra, Australia
Occupation	Actress
Years active	2004–present

Mia Wasikowska ( /ˌvɑːʃiːˈkɒfskə/ VAH-shee-KOF-skə;^[1][2] born 14 October 1989)^[3] is an Australian actress. After starting her career in Australian television and film, she first became known to a wider audience following her critically acclaimed work on the HBO television series In Treatment. She gained worldwide prominence in 2010 after starring as Alice in Tim Burton's $1 billion-grossing Alice in Wonderland and appearing in The Kids Are All Right, for which she received the Hollywood Awards' Breakthrough Actress Award.

In 2011, Wasikowska portrayed the title character in Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of Jane Eyre, and starred in Gus Van Sant's Restless and Rodrigo Garcia's Albert Nobbs. In 2012, she will appear in John Hillcoat's Lawless and Park Chan-wook's Stoker.

Early life[link]

Wasikowska was born and raised in Canberra, Australia,^[4] and is the middle child of three, with an older sister, Jess, and a younger brother, Kai.^[5][6] Her mother, Marzena Wasikowska, is a Polish-born photographer, while her father, John Reid, is an Australian photographer and collagist.^[7][8][9] In 1998, when she was eight years old, Wasikowska and her family moved to Szczecin, Poland for a year, after her mother received a grant to produce a collection of work based on her experience of having emigrated to Australia in 1974 at the age of eleven.^[10][11] Wasikowska and her siblings took part in the production as subjects; she explained to Johanna Schneller of the Toronto Globe and Mail in July 2010, "We never had to smile or perform. We weren't always conscious of being photographed. We'd just do our thing, and she'd take pictures of us."^[12]

Wasikowska began training as a ballerina at the age of nine, with hopes of going professional. She began dancing en pointe at thirteen, and was training 35 hours a week in addition to going to school full-time,^[1][13] her daily routine consisting of leaving school in the early afternoon and dancing until nine o'clock at night.^[14] A spur on her heel hampered her dancing.^[15] Her passion for ballet also waned due to the increasing pressure to achieve physical perfection and her growing dissatisfaction with the industry in general, and she quit at fourteen. However, she credits ballet with improving her ability to handle her nerves in auditions.^[15]

At the same time, she had been exposed to European and Australian cinema at an early age, particularly Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors trilogy and Gillian Armstrong's My Brilliant Career.^[12] Although she was shy and averse to performing during her school years,^[12][16] she became inspired to break into acting after watching Holly Hunter in The Piano and Gena Rowlands in A Woman Under the Influence,^[17] in addition to the opportunity of exploring imperfections in film.^[18] Despite having no prior acting experience, Wasikowska looked up twelve Australian talent agencies on Google and contacted them all, receiving only one response; she successfully arranged a meeting following persistent callbacks.^[17]

Career[link]

Early work[link]

Wasikowska landed her first acting role in 2004, with a two-episode stint on the Australian soap All Saints. She had just turned fifteen when she was cast in her Australian film debut, 2006's Suburban Mayhem,^[15] for which she received a nomination for a Young Actor's AFI Award.^[4] That same year, she also appeared in her first short film, Lens Love Story, in which she had no dialogue.

In 2007, Wasikowska appeared in the crocodile horror film Rogue, alongside Radha Mitchell and Sam Worthington, and the drama September, for which she beat out nearly 200 other actresses by receiving her part on the spot by director Peter Carstairs following her audition.^[15] She then starred in Spencer Susser's acclaimed short film I Love Sarah Jane, which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.^[19][20]

United States career[link]

2008–2009[link]

At the age of seventeen, Wasikowska received her first break in the United States when she was cast as Sophie, a suicidal gymnast, in HBO's acclaimed weekly drama In Treatment, after she auditioned for the role by videotape.^[21][22] The part required her to leave school in Canberra and move to Los Angeles for three months, while enrolling in correspondence courses.^[22] She earned critical acclaim for her performance as the troubled teenager treated by psychotherapist Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne),^[23][24][25] which included praise for her excellent American accent.^[26] Wasikowska revealed in an October 2008 interview with Variety that she was something of a mimic as a child and that the large influx of American films and TV shows made it easier for Australians to pick up the accent.^[27]

The exposure from the show led to Wasikowska picking up her first American film appearances. She played the brief role of Chaya, the young forest wife of Asael Bielski (Jamie Bell), in Defiance.^[28] Director Edward Zwick cast her without having seen her in In Treatment, explaining to the Australian edition of Vogue, "Her inner life is so vivid that it comes across even when she's being still."^[29] Her next part was that of aviation pioneer Elinor Smith in Mira Nair's 2009 biopic Amelia.^[30] In June 2008, due to her work on In Treatment, she was a recipient of an Australians in Film Breakthrough Award.^[31]

Wasikowska played the supporting role of Pamela Choat in the 2009 Southern Gothic independent film That Evening Sun, opposite Hal Holbrook. Director Scott Teems, seeking a young actress who bore a resemblance to Sissy Spacek, initially balked at the casting director's first suggestion of Wasikowska for the part, as he was adamant at casting all native Southerners for the sake of authenticity.^[32][33] However, after auditions with other actresses were unsuccessful, Teems relented and summoned Wasikowska for auditioning. She had only two hours to prepare, which she spent watching clips of Coal Miner's Daughter online in order to quickly learn a Southern accent, and impressed Teems enough that she gained the distinction of being the only non-American actor cast in the film.^[33] She was nominated for a 2009 Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female,^[34] which she lost to Mo'Nique (Precious), though the film received a South by Southwest award for Best Ensemble Cast.

2010–2011[link]

In July 2008, after a lengthy search, Wasikowska was cast as the eponymous heroine in Tim Burton's retelling of Alice in Wonderland, alongside Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway.^[35] She sent a videotaped audition to casting directors in London, and her first live reading in Los Angeles occurred on the same day as her Evening Sun audition.^[32] After three more auditions in London – which saw her flying back and forth from Australia to England in just as many weeks – she was awarded the role.^[36] Burton cited Wasikowska's "old-soul quality" as a catalyst in casting her: "Because you’re witnessing this whole thing through her eyes, it needed somebody who can subtly portray that.”^[22] Wasikowska portrayed a nineteen-year-old Alice returning to Wonderland for the first time since her youth after escaping an unwanted marriage proposal. Her affinity for the character played a part in her desire for the role, as she had read the Lewis Carroll books as a child and was a fan of Jan Švankmajer's 1988 stop-motion film Alice.^[37] She also saw Burton's version of the classic story as a chance to explore a deeper characterization of Alice, to whom she felt young women her age could relate, for which she drew on personal experiences. "Alice has a certain discomfort within herself, within society and among her peers; I [...] have definitely felt similarly about all of those things, so I could really understand her not fitting in. Alice also [is] an observer who is thinking a lot, and that's similar to how I am."^[36]

For Lisa Cholodenko's indie comedy The Kids Are All Right, Wasikowska was cast as Joni, the bookish daughter of a lesbian couple (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) who was conceived via artificial insemination. At her younger brother's (Josh Hutcherson) request, she seeks out their biological father (Mark Ruffalo).^[38] During shooting, she successfully campaigned to have Joni wear pajamas in several home scenes, as a nod to what the actress regularly did herself while home in Australia.^[39] She explained to Orlando Sentinel film critic Roger Moore, "[Joni's] very comfortable in her place, with who she is. So I pushed to have her, whenever she was at home, in her pajamas. That’s comfortable! And that’s something I do."^[40]

On 25 October, Wasikowska was honored with the Hollywood Awards' Breakthrough Actress Award,^[41] which was presented to her by Bryce Dallas Howard,^[42] and she won the Australian Film Institute International Award for Best Actress on 12 December for her performance in Alice in Wonderland.^[43] She was recognized by Forbes as one of the highest-grossing actors of 2010 with $1.03 billion, tied for second position with Johnny Depp and behind leader Leonardo DiCaprio, whose films grossed $1.1 billion for the year.^[44]

From March to May 2010, Wasikowska filmed Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of Jane Eyre, in which she starred as the title character opposite Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester.^[45] She began reading the novel after completion of Alice in Wonderland, during which she asked her agent if a script existed. Two months later, she received a script and was asked to meet with Fukunaga.^[46] However, since Fukunaga was unfamiliar with her prior work at the time and was therefore undecided about casting her, he later sought the opinion of director Gus Van Sant, with whom Wasikowska had previously filmed the 2011 release Restless.^[47] He said to BlackBook magazine in February 2011, "Gus wrote back: 'Cast her.'"^[17] Her work on the film resulted in a scheduling conflict that forced her to withdraw from the lead in Julia Leigh's 2011 Australian independent film Sleeping Beauty, and she was replaced by Emily Browning.^[48][49] Meryl Streep in her 2012 Golden Globe acceptance speech, announced: "How about Mia Wasikowska in Jane Eyre?"^[50]

Wasikowska turned down a part in Robert Redford's 2011 film The Conspirator in order to play the female lead in Restless,^[51] which she filmed from November to December 2009. The portrayal of her character, a terminally ill sixteen-year-old, required her to crop her long hair.^[51] Though she was one of many names shortlisted for the role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's 2011 adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, she declined to audition for the part due to the time commitment involved with the production.^[52] From December 2010 to February 2011, Wasikowska filmed Rodrigo Garcia's Albert Nobbs, for which she was a last-minute replacement for Amanda Seyfried.^[53]

On 21 April 2011, Wasikowska was named to the Time 100, a listing of the world's most influential people, which featured a brief essay written by Albert Nobbs co-star Glenn Close.^[54] In June 2011, Wasikowska was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.^[55] In December 2011, she appeared in The New York Times' short film on cinematic villainy, Touch of Evil.^[56]

2012–2013[link]

In 2011, Wasikowska shot a supporting role in John Hillcoat's Prohibition-era drama Lawless as the love interest of star Shia LaBeouf; production wrapped in April 2011.^[57] Later in the year, she filmed the lead in Park Chan-wook's English-language debut, Stoker, from 31 August to 23 October.^[58][59] Both films are scheduled for release in 2012.

Filming of her next project, Richard Ayoade's The Double, began in the U.K. in May 2012.^[60] She will star in Jim Jarmusch's vampire drama Only Lovers Left Alive, which will begin production in Germany in 2012.^[61][62] Wasikowska will portray the title character in Sophie Barthes's film adaptation of Madame Bovary, scheduled to begin production in autumn 2012 in Europe.^[63] She will also play the lead in director John Curran's adaptation of Australian author Robyn Davidson's Tracks; filming is scheduled for autumn 2012 in Australia.^[64] Wasikowska is also confirmed to star alongside Cate Blanchett in Carol, an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt, set to shoot in February 2013 in London and New York.^[65]

Wasikowska will make her directorial debut on a segment of a film adaptation of The Turning, a collection of short stories by Australian author Tim Winton.^[66]

Wasikowska appears in Miu Miu's spring 2012 fashion campaign.^[67] In 2012, she made her second appearance in a Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue, this time on the front panel.^[68]

Personal life[link]

In her spare time, Wasikowska is an avid photographer,^[69] often chronicling her travels and capturing images of her film sets with a Rolleiflex camera.^[70] During production of Jane Eyre, she had a secret pocket sewn into one of her costumes in order to conceal a smaller digital camera that she used between takes.^[71] One of her on-set images, featuring Fukunaga and Jane Eyre costar Jamie Bell, was selected as a finalist in a competition hosted by Australia's National Portrait Gallery on 24 February 2011.^[72]

Wasikowska continues to make her home in Canberra with her family between projects. When asked by PopEater in March 2011 if she was treated like a celebrity at home, she replied, "No, I still take the rubbish out and empty the dishwasher. It's good going back for that reason."^[46]
