Mini biography
Anna Paquin is the star of three major motion pictures, including her first
Oscar winning performance in Piano, The (1993), the role of the young Jane in
the 1996 film Jane Eyre (1996), and the role of Amy Alden in the charming family
film, Fly Away Home (1996). With a well-developed vocabulary and gentle sense of
humor, Paquin proves herself to be the most enchanting young talent working
today. Paquin's rising stardom has often been a cause of charming media shyness,
where it is obvious that she is an ordinary girl who happens to posses an
extraordinary talent. She has two agents, Gail Cowan in New Zealand, and the
William Morris agency in L.A., but neither these nor her parents have much
influence in deciding what she films. "In the end", she says, "it's my
decision". Paquin's parents separated while she was filming Fly Away Home (1996)
in Canada. On Oscar night, 1993, Anna Paquin was the surprise (and surprised)
winner of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She stood, wide-eyed
and gulping for breath at the microphone for a full twenty some odd seconds
before delivering a gracious, though rather breathless thank-you speech.
