Sally Hawkins

Sally Hawkins might be my favorite working actress precisely because she seems allergic to stardom. She won a Golden Globe and a Silver Bear, earned two Oscar nominations, and yet disappears so completely into her roles, whether a mute cleaner in love with a creature or an unsinkable optimist, that the awards feel almost beside the point. Her power is in stillness: a glance, a tremor, a held breath that says more than a monologue. British stage training gave her the tools, but the empathy is entirely her own. I trust any film a little more the moment her name appears in the credits.

Sally Cecilia Hawkins (born 27 April 1976) is an English actress of stage and screen. She began her career on stage and then moved into film, for which she has received several accolades including a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards and two British Academy Film Awards.
