Anna Paquin Wallpapers




Anna Paquin is a well accomplished actres sof the Hollywood film industry. She was born on July 24,1982 in Winnipeg, Manitoba,Canada. She was born to Brian Paquin, a phys. ed. instructor and mother Marie Brophy, an English instructor. Although she hails from Canada but when she was just four years old her family moved to New Zealand. Though acting was never in the mind of Anna, this line of career came for her just by chance. The director of the movie "The Piano" was looking for a little girl to play a key role in the film. He gave the ad for open audition in the newspaper. Anna's sister happened to looked at the ad and went for the audition with a friend of hers. Anna happens to go along. The director was simply taken away when he met Anna. he could not believe that someone so young can have so much compassion for acting.
Thus a vital role in "The Piano" came her way. She was cast to play the role of Flora McGrath, the young daughter of a Scottish mail-order bride who was sent to New Zealand to be married. Then 10-year-old Anna had the most dialogue in the film since she served as her mute mother's interpreter. Since the movie was rated as 'R' due to its violence and nudity little Anna could not watch the movie in complete but this did not restrict her from earning all the applaude for a stupendous and brilliant performance from the people. The Film Critics Circle of Australia named her Best Supporting Actress, as did the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. However, the greatest acclaim came when Anna was awarded the 1993 Best Supporting Actress Oscar, becoming the second-youngest person to win an Academy Award

The biggest opportunity for anna came when she played the daughter of a man (Jeff Daniels) who teaches geese to migrate with the aid of ultra-light planes in Carroll Ballard's "Fly Away Home" (also 1996). The actress who has never had an acting lesson followed that role up with a cameo appearance as the young Queen of Spain in Steven Spielberg's historical drama "Amistad" (1997). Then she played a pivotal supporting role opposite Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey in the Hollywood satire "Hurlyburly". The following year, she donned cut off shorts and a halter top to play Diane Lane and Liev Schreiber's rebellious hippie chick daughter in the 1960s drama "A Walk on the Moon". That same year, she also had a small part in the frothy teen romance "She's All That", playing Freddie Prinze Jr.'s younger sister with a knack with makeup.

Anna was in a desire to cut off from the stereo type teenage movies. Paquin followed with terrific turns as the genetic mutant Rogue in the big-screen version of Marvel Comic's "X-Men" and as a soulful groupie in love with Jason Lee's 1970s rocker in Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous". Anna toned down her burgeoning film career in the fall of 2000, when she began attending Columbia University, majoring in English. During her school days, Anna's film output slowed: she appeared only in Buffalo Soldiers (2001), 25th Hour (2002). In 2002, Paquin was cast in Spike Lee's crime drama feature "The 25th Hour," a feature that starred Edward Norton as a man who is forced to reevaluate his life before serving a seven year jail sentence.

In 2004, Anna shared a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Ensemble Performance in the play The Distance From Here, and she was also a presenter at the Tony Awards.

Anna Paquin is a very simple and shy girl but with great talents which is sure to bring her to the top one day.
