Samantha Morton

British actress Samantha Morton has earned the status of a movie star. And not only in their own country, but also in the world. Proof of this are two nominations for the Oscar statuette, the Golden Globe Award and many others, just below the rating.

Samantha Morton was born in May 1977 in Nottingham. Her childhood cannot be called rosy. When the girl was 3 years old, her parents divorced. Children (Samantha has an older brother and sister), the mother left the ex-wife, leaving the city with a new husband. Dad didn't care much about the kids either. He, a poet and activist of the Socialist Party, did not have enough time to educate them.

Therefore, little Mortons spent all their childhood wandering about orphanages and foster families. Nevertheless, the actress, recalling her childhood years, is not inclined to dramatize this period of her life. She says that this is how fate turned out and that everything that happened remained in the past.

Samantha Morton's adoptive mother has died, and she has no relationship with her biological parents.

The future British star showed a penchant for acting at the age of 7. The girl did not play with dolls, but the theater. Samantha acted out small performances, performing in all roles at once. At the age of 13, the student's ability was noticed by her teacher and advised Samantha to go to a specialized acting school.

So Morton did. For the next 3 years, she improved her skills at the Central Junior Television Workshop. Here Morton first entered the professional scene. And at the age of 14 she made her film debut. The girl was offered a role in the rating British TV series "Soldier, Soldier".

Due to the prevailing life circumstances, Samantha Morton grew up early. After saving a certain amount of money, the girl went to London and rented an apartment, lying about her majority. She found application for her talents on the stage of the Royal Court Theater. At that time, she was barely 16.

Cinematic biography of Samantha Morton began in 1994, when the young actress was "knocked" 17. The girl starred in the British crime drama "Roundup", playing the victim of adherents of a religious sect. And she played so convincingly that she was immediately noticed by the directors. From that moment on, the actress has been filming regularly.

Harriet in the drama "Emma", a young prostitute in the TV series "The Gang of Gold", the main character of Jane in the miniseries "Jane Eyre" - these diverse roles Samantha Morton played, as they say, in one breath, brilliantly transforming into heroines of different roles.

No wonder that already in 1997, for her brilliant work in the film "Inside Myself", the young British woman was nominated for the prestigious national Boston Film Critics Society award.

After watching this film, Woody Allen was so impressed with the skill of an actress previously unknown to him that he offered the girl one of the main roles in the new project "Sweet and Ugly". Samantha was to play the mute friend of the main character of the film - the guitarist and jazzman, the role of which went to Hollywood star Sean Penn.

It is noteworthy that not only Allen noticed this bright British star. Earlier, Morton received an offer to play Ophelia in the new film adaptation of Hamlet, where Ethan Hawke himself played the main character. But for the sake of the Woody Allen project, Samantha turned down the role. Surprisingly, until then, the girl had not heard anything about the famous Allen and had not watched any of his films. She was told about the scale of the director's popularity when he invited her to act.

For her work in Sweet and Ugly, the British woman was nominated for an Oscar for the first time, and at home she was awarded an award from the London Critics Circle Film Awards.

Samantha Morton's career developed rapidly. In 1999, the actress starred in several high-profile projects at once: in the independent low-budget American film The Son of Jesus and in the films Dreaming of Joseph Lisa and The Last Coward.

In the 2000s, the British woman continues to delight her fans. Samantha appeared in the drama Morvern Kallar, for which she received a British Independent Film Award. In the same 2002, a film about the life of Irish immigrants "In America" ​​was released. He received three Oscar nominations at once, one of which went to Samantha. But the statuette again “floated away” from Morton's hands. This time - into the hands of Charlize Theron.

However, 2002 was a generous year for the British star. After all, then another project came out on the big screens - the picture of Steven Spielberg "Minority Report", in which the famous master entrusted the English actress with the image of the seer Agatha. In 2003, the piggy bank of the main roles was replenished with work in the fantastic thriller "Code 46". Four years later, the actress got into the biographical drama about the life of the cult musician Ian Curtis (Sam Riley) "Control". In the film, the actress played the role of the musician's wife. The film earned Samantha a BAFTA nomination.

Among the projects in which the British woman has appeared in recent years, it should be noted the drama "The Libertine" with Johnny Depp in the title role and the picture "Longford", for which Morton was nominated for a BAFTA-TV award and won a Golden Globe.

In the piggy bank of the actress there is a work that was not included in her filmography. In 2013, Samantha Morton was approved for the lead voice role in the fantasy drama She, starring Joaquin Phoenix. With the actress, all the material was filmed, Samantha completely gave herself up to the role, acting out his scenes with her partner and thereby helping Joaquin to reveal the image more fully. But at the last stage, the director decided to change the actress and invited Scarlett Johansson. The change of the main character took place without a scandal, and Samantha, as a sign of gratitude for the work done, was named assistant producer.

In 2015, Samantha starred in the crime series The Last Panthers, where she appeared as Naomi. A year later, the actress delighted her fans with a brilliant performance in the project "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." This is the adaptation of J.K. Rowling's bestseller. Samantha's heroine is a non-magician Mary Lou. Her ensemble partners are Eddie Redmayne, Catherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp.

In 2000, the actress had a girl named Esme. Her father was Samantha's colleague Charlie Creed-Miles. Morton's independent and uncompromising character manifested itself here too: Morton said goodbye to the father of her child even in the early stages of pregnancy.

However, Samantha Morton's personal life was still happy. The British met a man with whom she seems to have a great relationship and complete trust. This is director Harry Holm. The actress met her future husband on the set of the video clip of The Victims. Samantha and Harry soon began to live together. The couple had two children together.

In 2008, the actress once again convinced fans of her strength of character and spirit. Morton admitted that in 2006 she received a severe head injury, after which she lost her sight and was partially paralyzed. Samantha had to go through a difficult and long period of rehabilitation, to learn how to speak and move. But she managed to cope and return to the stage.

The actress does not disclose the details of her private life through the social network Instagram. But Samantha has a Twitter account, where the artist posts political and social news of interest to her. In her status, Morton has indicated that she is a mom, actress, writer, director and children's rights activist.

The British star is known for her difficult personality. Morton is not chasing awards and chooses roles rather meticulously. And Samantha became famous for her caustic and sarcastic statements about the masters of Hollywood, which many of her colleagues dare not do.

Samantha Morton follows her principles, so in 2017 only one project came out with her participation - the series Courtesans. The historic re-enactment was to the taste of the discerning actress, and she agreed to star in the lead role of London brothel manager Margaret Wells. Her partner Mrs. Quigley was played by Leslie Manville. The series turned out to be rated, so the creators decided to extend the storyline for another season, which will premiere in 2018. The actress is currently working on yet another dramatic character in the British motion picture, tentatively titled Two for Joy.

Samantha Morton has joined the Justice and Equality Foundation, which was initiated by 200 British and Irish actresses. The organization is committed to protecting women filmmakers from sexual violence. The open letter, in addition to Samantha Morton, was signed by the stars Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, Emilia Clarke, Emma Watson, Noomi Rapace and others. In solidarity at the 2018 annual BAFTA Awards, all the actresses wore black outfits. A similar campaign started in the USA a little earlier. But French actresses came out in defense of men, defending their right to be able to care for women.
