Emily Watson

British actress Emily Watson has long gone to success on the stage, but in the cinema she gained worldwide fame after the second film. The characters she plays are multifaceted and diverse - from timid girls to powerful queens.

The full name of the actress is Emily Margaret Watson. She was born in London on January 14 in an intelligent family: her father worked as an architect, and her mother was a professor of English. Emily and her sister were raised very strictly.

The girls were forbidden to watch TV - instead, their mother introduced them to reading and educational games. When it came to choosing a school, the children were sent to a fashionable educational institution, where, in addition to standard subjects, Sanskrit and the basics of meditation were studied.

Emily was afraid to go to school: as a child, she was overweight and believed that she was losing everything to her spectacular and slender sister. However, in the end, she quickly settled among her peers and discovered her acting talent, starting to participate in school productions. However, then no one appreciated her talent especially highly, and after receiving secondary education, Emily planned to follow in the footsteps of her older sister into the publishing business.

While studying at the university, the girl became a member of the student theater troupe, and this occupation so captured her that she could not even think of any other profession except acting. Parents sharply opposed the plans of their daughter, persuading to stay in the university, but Emily was stubborn.

In the London Studio of Dramatic Art, where she took the documents, they did not want to accept her - the girl failed three times in the entrance tests. In between preparing for a career as an actress, Watson worked as a waitress and a secretary.

The first creative success in her biography was admission to the Royal Shakespeare Theater. At first, the young inexperienced actress was entrusted with only small roles, but over time she proved that she deserves more. In the theater, the future celebrity met Jack Waters, who later became her husband.

The debut of the actress in the movie took place in 1994 - it was the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream", adapted for television. Really famous Emily made the second role, which followed a year later - Bess McNeill in the film Lars von Trier "Breaking the waves".

Before that, she was not at all familiar with the work of the director and almost did not understand anything in cinema, so at first she did not even know how lucky she was. The picture, in addition to the nominations for the "Golden Globe" and "Oscar", brought Watson millions in royalties, which was a real shock for the girl. She was used to getting a little in the theater, and she was amazed at the scale of her earnings in the cinema. With the first money, Emily bought a house for the family.

The first triumph was followed by roles in "Metroland" and "Boxer" in 1997. The next nominations for prestigious film awards brought Emily work in the film "Hillary and Jack". The role of the actress made her in demand among independent directors - she starred with Alan Parker, Marlene Gorris, Alan Rudolph. In 2002, Watson starred in Paul Thomas Anderson's Knocking Love, Brett Ratner's Red Dragon, and Kurt Wimmer's Equilibrium.

Today the filmography of the actress includes dozens of films. Her most famous works are "War Horse" (2011) and "Anna Karenina (2012).

Emily is also known as a voice actress - one of the female characters in the Oscar-nominated film "Corpse Bride" speaks in her voice. In 2006, Watson co-starred with Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor in Miss Potter. In 2017, the actress appeared in Kingsman: The Golden Ring and played Elsa Einstein, the great physicist's cousin and cousin in Genius.

French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet wrote the character of Amelie in the film of the same name especially for Watson, but she never played this role: Emily had problems with French, and at that time she could not come to Paris to shoot. As a result, Amelie played Audrey Tautou. It was also planned that she will play the role of Queen Elizabeth in the film by Indian director Shekhar Kapoor, but later the man changed his mind and preferred Cate Blanchett.

Despite a brilliant career in cinema, Emily never left the theater scene. Among her most famous works are the performances "Twelfth Night", "Children's Hour", "The Taming of the Shrew."

The actress is happy in her personal life and happy in her only marriage. Emily met Jack Waters while serving at the Royal Shakespeare Theater. They got married in 1995.

The couple have two children - daughter Juliet was born in 2005, and son Dylan in 2009. Although Watson was brought up outside the box as a child, she herself does not put pedagogical experiments on children.

Emily admits that, on the one hand, life without TV taught her to read and entertain herself on the peers. Watson prefers to bring up his son and daughter by his own example and without strict restrictions.

The family avoids publicity, and their joint photos in the media rarely appear. They live in their own house in Greenwich.

Because of the similar name, the actress is often confused with another British movie star Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, to which Emily has humor. According to her, she does not even correct those who are mistaken - she is flattered that she is mistaken for a girl almost 2 times her age.

The last large-scale film work of the actress to date was the film "Happy Prince", released in 2018. The film by screenwriter and director Rupert Everett tells about the last days of the writer Oscar Wilde, which he spent in Paris. Watson got the role of Constance Lloyd in it.

Also in 2018, Emily appeared in the film adaptation of Shakespeare's play King Lear, where she played the cruel Regan. Now, in addition to filming, Watson is engaged in charity work - she patronizes the Scene & Heard children's charity.
