She's had a tough road getting to the leading lady status.


So nice to see her name above title next to a single other actor. She's lovely and I liked her since Die Another Day. Deserved it much sooner.

I'm not really sure I would call it a "tough road". She's been starring in studio films for over 10 years. That's really not considered stuggling/tough in the acting world - she still had a better career than most working actors.

Also she has had two children so that takes you away from a career for a certain amount of time.

Chances are she was offered some excellent roles that she turned down for this reason.

Exactly, two kids, been the female lead in multiple studio films, worked opposite A-list actors and in prestige films. Pretty much a dream career for most actors.

She hasn't had 2 kids. She's had one. She's 7 or 8 months along with the second.

She also came from a wealthy family which im sure helped her in getting the best acting coaching.

She came from a cultured, not wealthy, background.
