Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz is a British actress, star of world cinema, winner of an Oscar and other significant awards. She became famous for her works in the films "Elusive Beauty", "The Mummy", "The Faithful Gardener".

Actress Rachel Weisz was born on March 7, 1970 into a Jewish family. Parents fled to Great Britain, fleeing Nazi persecution. The ancestors of the future actress lived in Italy, Hungary, Austria. Rachel was born and raised in London. In the family of inventor George Weiss and his wife, psychoanalyst Edith Ruth, two children were raised. Rachel's sister - Minnie - later mastered the profession of an artist. The future actress had only fond memories of childhood - a friendly atmosphere always reigned in the house, interesting people often came to visit her parents. The girl absorbed this atmosphere and enjoyed studying at school.

At the age of 14, Rachel tried herself as a model, but this hobby never became a profession. After leaving school, the girl entered the University of Cambridge, where she studied English literature. Probably, Weiss would have become a good teacher if not for the student theater.

The girl took part in amateur theater performances and quickly became the star of the group. At the Edinburgh Festival, the production of the theater studio brought the creators a prize. In one of the performances, critics drew attention to the talented student and praised Weiss. At that moment, Rachel realized that her vocation was acting.

Rachel Weisz began acting in the late 80s. These were episodic roles in the series "Second Screen", "Inspector of the World", "Tropical Heat". In 1994, the actress appeared in the horror film Death Machine about a combat robot that went out of action.

The girl was 25 years old when Bernardo Bertolucci invited Weiss to play in the film "Elusive Beauty". The role was small, but enough for Rachel to be noticed by directors and producers. The film was nominated for the prestigious Palme d'Or award.

After the first successful role, directors began to offer the actress a leading role. In 1996, the thriller Chain Reaction was released with the participation of Rachel, in which Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman also played. The actress reincarnated as a girl of easy virtue in the drama "Addiction". The opposite image - a young British subject who joined the army during the Second World War, the actress embodied in the war film "Three Englishwomen outside the city."

The next successful work of Weiss was the painting "The Mummy", which tells about the fascinating adventures of Rick, the employee of Willow's library and her brother. The film was a success at the box office, and the actress gained international popularity. Two years later, the shooting of the second film in the franchise - "The Mummy Returns" followed. But for the third time in a fantastic action movie, Weiss refused to appear, despite the substantial fee promised for her appearance in the frame - $ 3 million.

At the same time, Rachel appeared in the melodrama Taste of Sunshine, where she played a representative of the Jewish dynasty. In the war film Enemy at the Gates about the Battle of Stalingrad, on which filmmakers from four countries - the USA, Great Britain, Germany and Ireland - worked, Weiss played the role of Tanya Chernova, a nurse.

Rachel's talent grew stronger and was revealed with each new role. The actress played equally brilliantly in the thriller "Verdict for Money" and in the family comedy "My Boy". In 2003, the actress starred in the crime thriller "Scam" by James Foley, where she appeared on the screen as a fraud. Among the works of the early 2000s - roles in the comedy "Black Envy" and the mystical film "Constantine: Lord of Darkness."

Then there was the shooting in the political drama "The Faithful Gardener" - for this role Rachel Weisz received the coveted Oscar statuette, the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Golden Globe. The actress played the heroine Tessa, a journalist who is involved in investigating the criminal activities of pharmaceutical companies on the African continent. At the end of the film, the girl is killed in cold blood.

The actress was reincarnated as the heroine Izzy, a terminally ill woman in the film-parable "The Fountain", after which in the comedy "The Brothers Bloom" Rachel was waiting for the image of an eccentric rich woman who, together with two adventure brothers, went on a journey.

A significant work for Weiss was the main role in the drama Agora. The actress embodied the image of the first woman scientist Hypatia of Alexandria, who lived in the 4th century AD. And then Weiss is invited to the crime thriller "Snitch", where the actress appears to embody the image of a female police officer, who is sent to Sarajevo, having signed a contract with the UN mission.

Then there was the shooting in the film "Oz: The Great and Terrible", where the actress appeared in a new image of the seductive witch Evanora. In the drama "Deep Blue Sea", the actress succeeded in the image of a prosperous woman who rushes into the pool with her head, forgetting about family and the rules of decency. From the brightest premieres of the last period of Rachel Weisz's creative biography, viewers and critics especially highlight the film "Youth", which won many awards at international film festivals.

Many viewers are interested in how Rachel Weisz manages to convey the passion of a woman in love so believably on the screen. It turns out that such passions were in the life of the artist.

The first big love of the actress was director Sam Mendes. The lovers seemed like a harmonious couple. But Kate Winslet, the mother of his child, became Sam's wife, however, the director's family life did not work out in the new union either.

Darren Aronofsky became the second passion of the actress. Gradually, the relationship moved into a family union, however, without official registration. In 2006, Weiss gave birth to a son, Henry. Fans of the acting couple were waiting for the wedding - it did not happen.

On the set of Dream House, Rachel met Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond. The novel developed rapidly, but the lovers hid the relationship from colleagues and friends. Both were not free. Feelings prevailed: at the end of 2010, Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky officially announced that they were breaking up. Darren was upset by the breakup, but gradually got used to this thought. The director still takes an active part in raising his son.

In June 2011, Rachel married Craig. It looks like the actress has finally found her man. According to Weiss, over the years comes the understanding that you need to stay happy in silence. Therefore, Rachel does not maintain accounts on social networks, including Instagram, and Weiss's family photos do not get into the press at all, with the exception of pictures taken at official events.

Rachel Weisz is a prominent figure in European cinema and Hollywood. Her fame relates to her achievements in the field of acting and production experience. Weiss has already participated in the creation of the pictures "The Image of Things", "Radiator" as a producer.

Two more Hollywood premieres are now being prepared with the participation of Rachel Weisz - the sports drama Race of the Century and Goran Dukich's fantastic indie film Cloud One. The historical drama "The Favorite", where Rachel Weisz plays Sarah Churchill, is at the stage of filming.

Against the backdrop of a growing feminist movement in Hollywood, controversy erupted over the creation of a James Bond film, in which the main character, "007", will be a woman. Gillian Anderson and Priyanka Chopra have already expressed their intention to play this heroine. Unlike her colleagues, Rachel Weisz spoke out against this idea. The actress prefers to get used to the original images, and not those that already exist.
