The Rose: Born in the London neighbourhood of Islington, Watson is a dedicated charity fundraiser and has a BA in English. She made her film debut in Lars von Trier’s Breaking The Waves, a performance that garnered her massive critical acclaim.

The Awesome: A fantastic all-rounder, Watson often lends her saucer-eyes and spirited affability to family roles. Synecdoche, NY remains an offbeat standout, while Watson’s fantastic turn in Red Dragon as a blind woman contributed to that movie’s success.

American Equivalent: Michelle Pfeiffer possesses that same outer-fragility-concealing-inner-steel quality.
