Description:
Thandie Newton is the daughter of a Zimbabwean mother of
the Shona Tribe and a British father. She lived in Zambia until political unrest
caused her family to move back to the UK. She then lived in Cornwall in the
southwest of England until the age of 11. At that time she enrolled in London's
Art Educational School, where she studied modern dance. However, a back injury
forced her from dancing. This led to her auditioning for films and receiving
her first role in John Duigan's Flirting (1991). She then moved to Los Angeles
to pursue acting and her then-boyfriend. However, her British accent limited
the amount of work she was getting, and she returned to Britain, where she went
to Cambridge University to study, eventually receiving a degree in anthropology.
Between semesters, she continued her acting and became noticed and in-demand
for future film roles.
