Frances O'Connor

Frances O'Connor has always struck me as one of those actresses who quietly elevates everything she touches. I first really noticed her opposite Haley Joel Osment in Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence, where her warmth as Monica gave the film its aching heart. But she's so versatile, from the wit of Mansfield Park and The Importance of Being Earnest to her commanding turns in Mr Selfridge and Wednesday. What impresses me most is that the Australian actress went on to write and direct Emily, her bold Bronte film. She's never coasted on charm alone, and I respect that enormously.
