Weisz started working in television fictions such as Inspector Morse, the British miniseries The Scarlet and the Black, and the television movie Advocates II. She made her film debut in the 1994 film Death Machine, but she gained more recognition for her role in the 1996 movie Chain reaction, gaining public recognition after her portrayal of Evelyn Carnahan-O'Connell in the films The Mummy, in 1999, and The Mummy Returns in 2001. Among other of her most important films are, Enemy at the Gates, About a Boy, Constantine, The Fountain and The Constant Gardener, for which she received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.

Early life and background

Weisz was born in Westminster, London, England, and grew up in the Hampstead Garden Suburb.[4] Her mother, Edith Ruth (née Teich), is a teacher turned psychotherapist who was born in Vienna, Austria. Her father, George Weisz, is a Hungarian-born inventor and engineer.[5] Her parents fled to England during the Second World War. Weisz' father is Jewish and her mother is of Jewish, "Catholic Viennese", and Italian descent.[6][7][8] Her maternal grandfather, Alexander Teich, was a secretary of the World Union of Jewish Students;[9][10][11] one of her maternal great-grandmothers was from Italy.[8] She has a sister, Minnie, who is a photographer and curator.[12]

Weisz's parents valued arts, and encouraged her and her sister to form opinions of their own by often exposing them to family debates. Weisz was expelled from an independent schools for girls, the North London Collegiate School, Benenden School,[13] due to disruptive behavior. Weisz's conduct was an effort to bridge the distance between her parents, as working together to correct her, they could be united again. Weisz's parents sent her to a psychoanalyst to stabilize her issues and her therapist congratulated her for her intention of uniting her parents, but they ultimately divorced.[14] She started modeling when she was fourteen.[15] Finally, she graduated from St Paul's Girls' School.[13] Weisz claimed that she was a bad student until an English Literature teacher inspired her at the age of sixteen.[16]

During her final years in school, she began modeling. In 1984, she gained public attention when she turned down an offer to star in King David, along with Richard Gere.[13] After school, she entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where she graduated with a 2:1 in English. During her university years, she appeared in various student productions, co-founding a student drama group called Cambridge Talking Tongues, which went on to win a Guardian Student Drama Award at the 1991 Edinburgh Fringe Festival for an improvised piece called Slight Possession.[17] The group existed until 1993.[18] Once she finished her college education, Weisz was offered a place at drama school, which she rejected in order to look for work. In those years, she started taking small television roles.[13] Despite her rising career, she felt deeply unhappy at time, having days in which she could not drag herself out of bed because of her unhappiness. This situation led her to go to therapy three times a week for five years.[14]

Career

Films

1992–1998

After her success in theater as a student, Weisz continued working on television fictions. She appeared on the 1992 television movie Advocates II,[19] and followed it with series such as Inspector Morse, in the chapter Twilight of the Gods,[19] and The Scarlet and the Black, alongside Ewan McGregor.[19]

Weisz started her cinema career in a minor role in the 1994 film Death Machine,[19] but portrayed her first important role in the 1996 film Chain Reaction, which starred Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman.[20] She next appeared as Miranda Fox in the Italian Academy Award-winning director Bernardo Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty.[21]

Her following works include the 1997 American drama Swept from the Sea,[22] the 1998 television comedy-drama My Summer with Des and David Leland's The Land Girls, based on Angela Huth's book of the same name.[23] The same year, she starred in Michael Winterbottom's crime movie I Want You,[24] in which her character, Helen, is pursued by an ex-convict, who was her former lover.[25]

1999–2003

In 1999 Weisz played Greta in the historical film Sunshine.[26] The same year, her breakout into wide audience recognition was the 1999 adventure movie The Mummy, in which she played the lead female role alongside Brendan Fraser. Her character was the English Egyptologist Evelyn Carnahan,[27] who undertook an expedition to the fictional ancient Egyptian city of Hamunaptra to discover an ancient book. She followed this up with the Mummy series' second part, The Mummy Returns, in 2001, which grossed an estimated $433,000,000 dollars worldwide,[28] (equivalent to $539,866,353 in 2011[29]) higher than the original's $260,000,000[30] (equal to $344,502,596 in 2011).[29] In 2000 she portrayed Petula in the film Beautiful Creatures.[19] Her following movies were Enemy at the Gates, in 2001,[31] and the 2002 comedy-drama About a Boy, based on Nick Hornby's 1998 same-titled novel, with Hugh Grant.[32] In 2003 she portrayed Marlee, in the adaptation of John Grisham's legal thriller novel The Runaway Jury, along with Dustin Hoffman, John Cusack and Gene Hackman.[33] The same year, she starred in the film adaptation of the romantic comedy-drama theater play The Shape of Things.[34]

2004–2009

In 2004 she played the role of Debbie in the comedy Envy, opposite Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Christopher Walken. The movie failed at the box office[35] Variety magazine wrote: "Stiller's put-upon everyman shtick here suffers from its over-familiarity, having been seen in too many movies; Black, by contrast, seems fresh as he takes an unexpectedly laid-back angle to a fellow blissfully unaware of the pain he's causing his friend. Weisz and Poehler get fewer choice moments than they deserve."[36] Her following movie was Constantine, based on the comic book Hellblazer alongside Keanu Reeves.[37] She portrayed the roles of L.A.P.D. Detective Angela Dodson and her identical twin sister Isabel.[38] Film Threat wrote: "Weisz is effective at projecting skepticism and, eventually, dawning horror".[39] Her next appearance, in 2005, was in Fernando Meirelles's The Constant Gardener,[40] a film adaptation of a John le Carré thriller of the same title set in the slums of Kibera and Loiyangalani, Kenya.[41][42] Weisz played activist Tessa Quayle.[43] The movie was critically acclaimed,[44] and Weisz received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress,[45] the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress,[46] and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.[47] According to the newspaper The Guardian "the role of Tessa established her in the front rank of British actors.[48] Her portrayal was defined as exceptional, a film star charisma coupled with raw emotion in a performance to fall in love with by the BBC."[49]

In 2006, she starred in Darren Aronofsky's romantic drama The Fountain.[50] The San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Audiences will relate to and because Jackman and Weisz convey the deep connection between husband and wife. Weisz is less convincing in her role as Queen Isabel, who ruled Spain during the Inquisition. She isn't queenly enough."[51] Also in 2006, she provided the voice for Saphira in the fantasy film Eragon.[52] The same year, she rejected the offer to star in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, due to script issues. The role eventually went to Maria Bello.[53] Her subsequent films include the 2007 Wong Kar-wai-directed drama My Blueberry Nights, in which she played Sue Lynne Copeland,[54] and director Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom, in 2008, in which she played a wealthy American woman targeted by two con man brothers played by Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo.[54] In 2009 she played the lead role of Hypatia of Alexandria in the historical drama film Agora, a Spanish production directed by Alejandro Amenábar.[55] The New York Times said about her portrayal of Hypatia "She is such a sympathetic presence and adept at showing how her character’s combination of wisdom and unworldliness makes her vulnerable to the guile, cowardice and opportunism of others".[56]

2010–present

Her film, The Whistleblower debuted at the Toronto Film Festival in 2010. Weisz portrayed Kathy Bolkovac, a Nebraska police officer who traveled to Bosnia in a United Nations peacekeeping mission. The film was centered on the investigation, and uncovering by Weisz's character of human trafficking by employees of contractor DynCorp. The film was based on the true story. During its premiere the intense depiction of the treatment meted out to victims by the kidnappers made a woman in the audience faint.[57] According to the critics, she shines with grim-faced determination in the role of Kathy Bolkovac.[58] In 2010, she guest-starred in the animated series The Simpsons, in the 22nd season episode "How Munched is That Birdie in the Window?", as the voice of Dr. Thurston.[59] Her upcoming movies include an adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play, The Deep Blue Sea,[60] Dream House alongside Daniel Craig,[61] and an upcoming romantic drama written and directed by Terrence Malick alongside Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams, which was filmed in fall 2010 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma and Pawhuska, Oklahoma.[62] As of February 2011, her other upcoming movies are BBC's espionage thriller, Page 8,[63] and Fernando Meirelles' psychosexual drama 360.[64] According to reports she will play Gerda Wegener alongside Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl.[65]

Theatre

Weisz's breakthrough role was that of Gilda in Welsh director Sean Mathias's 1994 West End revival of Noel Coward's 1933 play Design for Living at the Gielgud Theatre,[66][67] for which she received the London Critics' Circle Award for the most promising newcomer.[68][69] Her portrayal of the Gilda was described as wonderful by the critics.[70] In 1999, she played the role of Catherine in the Donmar's production of Tennessee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer,[67] What's on Stage wrote: "Particularly good is Rachel Weisz's Catharine, who brings a degree of credibility to a difficult part. For the play to work, the audience has to be left guessing whether Catherine is truly insane and Weisz's performance walks the tightrope between madness and lucidity well. This part demonstrates that Weisz is capable of performances of great subtlety. In particular, her final, terrible monologue is captivating".[71] The same year, Weisz portrayed Evelyn, in Neil LaBute's The Shape of Things at the Almeida Theatre in the temporary location in London's Kings Cross,[72] the critic's description of her performance was: "Weisz's misty eyed, "little girl lost" look belies that she is a sophisticated, independent artist. She has great stage presence".[73] In 2006, she portrayed Blanche DuBois, in Rob Ashford's Donmar revival of the play A Streetcar Named Desire.[74] Her performance in the play was praised by the critics, The Daily Telegraph wrote "She rises to the challenge magnificently. It's worth pointing out that Williams's own stage directions described the character as being about 30. Her undoubted beauty is combined here with a fluttering, birdlike nervousness, and sudden moments of desperate panic, that wrench the heart".[75]

Awards and honours

Films

Weisz gained honours for her work in The Constant Gardener, which included: the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture.

Personal life

Weisz began dating American filmmaker and producer Darren Aronofsky in the summer of 2001. They met backstage at London's Almeida Theatre, where she was starring in The Shape of Things. Weisz moved to New York City with Aronofsky in 2002.[72] They were engaged in 2005.[82] Their son, Henry Chance, was born on May 31, 2006 in New York City.[83][84] The couple resided in the East Village in Manhattan. On 9 November 2010, Weisz and Aronofsky announced that they had been apart for months, but that they remain close friends and are committed to raising their son together in New York.[85] In 2009, Weisz made public her opinion against botox.

"It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen. Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?."

—Rachel Weisz, during an interview for the UK edition of Harper's Bazaar.[86]

Weisz is represented by Creative Artists Agency.[87] In 2001 she was involved in an traffic accident, while traveling in a cab that was hit by a truck, Weisz was unharmed.[83] On 7 July 2007, she presented at the American leg of Live Earth, along with Alec Baldwin and Kevin Bacon.[88]
