Naomi Ellen Watts was born on September 28, 1968, in Shoreham, England. An Academy Award-nominated actress, Naomi Watts has tackled a diverse mix of projects in her career, ranging from horror to comedy, from big epics to small independent films. As a teenager, she and her family moved to Australia. In 1986, Watts made her film debut in For Love Alone. Later, she got to work with dear friend Nicole Kidman in the boarding school drama Flirting (1991). For years, Watts appeared on television and in several films. But it wasn’t until her performance in David Lynch’s acclaimed mystery Mulholland Drive in 2001 that critics began to take notice. The role jumpstarted Watts’s career, and she began to land big projects. She starred in the sleeper hit The Ring(2002), which was the American remake of popular Japanese horror film. Taking on lighter fare, Watts appeared in Le Divorce (2003). That same year, Watts amazed both audiences and critics with her outstanding performance in Alejandro González Iárritu’s thriller 21 Grams. Watts followed up this role with a part in the martial drama We Don’t Live Here Anymore (2004) and the offbeat comedy I Heart Huckabees(2004). Watts delivered another stellar performance in 2012’s The Impossible, which is based on a true story.
