Anna Paquin

What fascinates me about Anna Paquin is not the famous statistic of an Oscar at eleven for The Piano, but everything she did afterward. Child prodigies in Hollywood tend to flame out; she instead enrolled at Columbia, earned a Theatre World Award on stage, and picked up a Golden Globe for television. That is three different disciplines, three different sets of muscles, all mastered quietly. To me she represents the rarest kind of career, one built on craft rather than momentum. The early Oscar could have been a ceiling; she treated it as a floor, and I find that discipline more impressive than the trophy itself.
