Tilda Swinton
Katherine Matilda Swinton (born 5 November 1960) is a British actress The iconoclastic gifts of the highly striking and ferociously talented actress have been appreciated by art house crowds and international audiences alike.
After her stunning Oscar-winning turn as a high-powered corporate attorney in the George Clooney starring and critically-lauded legal thriller Michael Clayton (2007), however, her androgynous looks and often bizarre appeal have been embraced by more mainstream crowds as well.
Swinton began her career by appearing in Derek Jarman's experimental films Caravaggio (1986), The Last of England (1988), War Requiem (1989), and The Garden (1990). In 2020, The New York Times ranked her as one of the greatest actors of the 21st century.
