Brenda Blethyn biography
Born: February 20, 1946
Though Brenda Blethyn has enjoyed a long and successful career as an actress on the British stage and in television, it wasn't until the release of Mike_Leigh's film Secrets and Lies in 1996 that she became well-known to moviegoers as well, earning a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for what was only her third film.
Blethyn's early stage experience included stints in the stock companies of the Bubble Theatre and the Belgrade Theater of Coventry. In 1975, she joined the Royal National Theater, where she worked with some of Britain's leading stage directors, including Peter_Wood, Peter_Hall, and Bill_Bryden, and her roles ran the gamut from Nora in Henrik_Ibsen's +A Doll's House to Billie Dawn in +Born Yesterday. With the Royal Shakespeare Company, she appeared under the direction of Maximillian_Schell in +Tales From the Vienna Woods and in Alan_Ayckbourn's +Wildest Dream. In 1991, she received the British Drama Awards' Best Actress prize for her role in +Steaming and the Theatre World Awards' Outstanding New Talent prize for her role in the Broadway production of +Absent Friends.
Blethyn made her film debut in 1990, with a small part in Nicholas_Roeg's The Witches. Robert_Redford cast her as Brad_Pitt's mother in A_River_Runs_Through_It in 1992, but 1996's Secrets and Lies provided Blethyn with her first substantial screen role. In a story developed through six months of improvisations with Leigh and the cast, Blethyn's performance as a woman getting to know the daughter she had given up made her an international sensation almost overnight. Blethyn received another Oscar nomination in 1999, for her role as the overbearing mother in Little_Voice; her nomination complemented her growing popularity in Hollywood, reflected by her casting in such high profile projects as Billy_Bob_Thornton's Daddy and Them (1999). The following year, Blethyn again earned raves for her starring role in Saving Grace, a comedy about a woman forced to start growing marijuana to stave off creditors following her husband's death.
