Naomi Ellen Watts (born 28 September 1968) is an Australian
actress. She began her career in Australia, making her screen debut in the
drama film For Love Alone (1986) and then appeared in the television series
Hey Dad..! (1990), Brides of Christ (1991) and Home and Away (1991) and
alongside Nicole Kidman and Thandie Newton in the coming-of-age comedy-drama
film Flirting (1991). After moving to America, Watts appeared in films,
including Tank Girl (1995), Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996)
and Dangerous Beauty (1998) and had the lead role in the television series
Sleepwalkers (1997–1998). After years as a struggling actress, Watts gained
critical acclaim for her work in David Lynch's psychological thriller Mulholland
Drive (2001). The following year, she received public recognition for her
role in the box office hit horror film The Ring (2002). She then received
nominations for the Academy Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award for
Best Actress for her portrayal of Cristina Peck in Alejandro González Iñárritu's
neo-noir 21 Grams (2003). In 2002, Watts was included in People Magazine's
50 Most Beautiful People.
The shape of Watts's career is a long apprenticeship followed by a sudden arrival. The Australian years covered film and television — For Love Alone, Hey Dad..!, Brides of Christ, Home and Away and Flirting — and the American years at first meant genre work: Tank Girl (1995), Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996), Dangerous Beauty (1998) and the lead role in the television series Sleepwalkers (1997–1998). Mulholland Drive changed the reading of that résumé overnight: the struggling-actress years became part of the story the performance itself told, and The Ring then carried the same face to a mass audience.
