Anna
Helene Paquin b. July 24, 1982 is an Oscar-winning actress.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,
and the child of two teachers, she moved to New Zealand
when she was four. Her début performance, in
the 1993 film The Piano, which was widely regarded
as extraordinary even by critics who didn't like the
film, saw her win an Academy Award for Best Supporting
Actress; the second-youngest person to win an Oscar.
She completed her secondary education
in Los Angeles, and took several well-regarded roles
in various movies while doing so. She studied at Columbia
University for one year, but has been on a leave of
absence in order to continue her acting career. She
returned to worldwide prominence with her role as
Rogue in the blockbuster X-Men movie in 2000, its
sequel in 2003, and is set to star in the third installment
set for a 2006 release. She lives in New York.
