BIO

Pale and ordinary, yet delicately beautiful actress who has kept a low profile since her screen debut in the 1990s – a strategy that has served her well, earning her three Academy Award nominations. Laura Linney may be labelled the unglamorous version of Meryl Streep, often content to stay in the background, representing the everyday woman in Hollywood, if you like. There is nothing starry about Linney; instead, she communicates real emotion and a deep understanding of everyday experiences.
