My Take
Kerry Fox earned my respect with a single, fearless performance. Born in Wellington in 1966, she broke through playing writer Janet Frame in Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table, a role that won her Best Actress at the New Zealand Film and Television Awards. What I value about her is the willingness to take on demanding, unglamorous parts rather than chase easy stardom. She trained the hard way, schooled at Hutt Valley High before building a screen career that later expanded into directing. To me she embodies the quietly serious New Zealand acting tradition, the kind of performer who trusts material over image.
