Biografie
Samantha Morton has been hailed as one of the foremost actresses of her generation. Her career to date has seen her work with some of the most respected directors in the world, including Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen. The diverse and often difficult choices of role she has made are reflected in the list of accolades including a Golden Globe and two Academy Award nominations.
Morton grew up in Nottingham England. At thirteen she joined Central Television’s Junior Workshop where she was quickly spotted and cast in early TV roles including CRACKER and PEAK PRACTICE. Acclaimed theatre work included two award winning plays at London’s Royal Court Theatre, “Ashes and Sand” and “Stargazy Pie and Sauerkraut.”
Aged 17 Morton was cast as Tracy in the award-winning TV drama BAND OF GOLD. TV films EMMA and TOM JONES quickly followed and led to her playing the title role in Robert Young’s acclaimed TV film JANE EYRE.
Morton first came to the attention of International film audiences as Iris in Carine Adler’s harrowing UNDER THE SKIN. It was a role that earned her unanimous critical acclaim and the Boston Film Critics Award for Best Actress.
In 1999 Woody Allen cast her as the mute Hattie in SWEET AND LOWDOWN, for which she received both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress. Notable roles in Alison Maclean’s JESUS’ SON, Julien Temple’s PANDEMONIUM, Eric Styles DREAMING OF JOSEPH LEES and Amos Gitai’s EDEN followed.
In 2002 Morton starred as the title role in Lynne Ramsay’s critically acclaimed MORVERN CALLAR. She then went on to appear opposite Tom Cruise as the pre-cog Agatha in Steven Spielberg’s MINORITY REPORT, Maria Gonzales in Michael Winterbottom’s CODE 46, Sarah in Jim Sheridan’s IN AMERICA, for which she received her second Academy nomination for Best Actress, and Claire in Roger Michell’s ENDURING LOVE for which she received a British Independent Film Award Best Actress nomination.
Films in 2005 and 2006 included the New Zealand epic RIVER QUEEN, THE LIBERTINE opposite Johnny Depp, and LASSIE. She also received a half–Lifetime achievement Award from Dennis Hopper’s Cinevegas Film Festival.
This fall, Morton will be seen in THE GOLDEN AGE as Mary Queen of Scots alongside Cate Blanchett in Shekhar Kapur’s sequel to ELIZABETH, and as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator in Harmony Korine’s highly-anticipated film MISTER LONELY.
Earlier this year Morton played the part of Myra Hindley opposite Jim Broadbent in the NBC/Channel 4 film LONGFORD. Her performance earned her a BAFTA and more recently an Emmy nomination.
