Biography
With her work in films, television and theater, Academy and Golden Globe Award-winning actress Anna Paquin has displayed a range of emotions and a wealth of talent well beyond her years.
Paquin starred in THE ROMANTICS opposite Katie Holmes and Josh Duhamel. Anna was also seen in the CBS Hallmark Hall of Fame movie “The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler” for which she received a 2010 Golden Globe Nomination for “Best Performance in a Mini-Series.” The film is a touching story of a social worker, played by Paquin, who saved the lives of nearly 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw ghetto in WW2.
In 2007, Anna starred in HBO's original movie "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” opposite Adam Beach and Aidan Quinn. Directed by Yves Simoneau and produced by Dick Wolf, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” received a record 17 Emmy nominations, including a nomination for Anna in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Mini Series or Movie.
Paquin starred in and co-produced BLUE STATE with her brother Andrew, under their banner Paquin Films. BLUE STATE is a political romantic comedy about a Democratic campaigner who follows through on his promise to move to Canada if George "Dubya" Bush is re-elected. BLUE STATE premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
Additional film credits include the X MEN trilogy which combined grossed over $600 million domestically, Noah Baumbach's THE SQUID AND THE WHALE, Spike Lee's 25th HOUR, Gus Van Sant's FINDING FORRESTER, Cameron Crowe's Academy Award-winning ALMOST FAMOUS, Steven Spielberg’s AMISTAD, Carroll Ballard's FLY AWAY HOME, and Franco Zeffirelli's JANE EYRE.
On stage, Paquin received a Drama Desk nomination as Best Lead Actress for her stage debut in Rebecca Gilman's “The Glory of Living” for director Phillip Seymour Hoffman. She followed that performance with the first West End production of Kenneth Lonergan's “This is Our Youth” co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hayden Christensen. Other stage credits include "After Ashley" directed by Terry Kinney and Neil Labute's dark drama “The Distance from Here” (Drama Desk Award for “Best Play” and won for “Best Cast Ensemble”).
Paquin stunned the world in 1993 with her film debut as the daughter of the bride of an arranged marriage in Jane Campion’s THE PIANO. Paquin's performance opposite cast members Holly Hunter, Sam Neill, and Harvey Keitel led to her winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the age of eleven.
