Something wrong?She doesn't play parts so much as inhabit shapes - androgynous witch, ancient sorcerer, ice-queen villain, desperate mother - each one a physical transformation that makes you forget the last. The draw is her uncanny ability to disappear into the strange and stay compelling.

Katherine Matilda Swinton was born 5 November 1960 in Scotland and started in the experimental films of Derek Jarman: Caravaggio in 1986, The Last of England, War Requiem, The Garden, then Edward II in 1991, which won her the Volpi Cup. Orlando in 1992 and The Deep End in 2001 brought wider notice, the latter earning a Golden Globe nomination. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007 for Michael Clayton, playing a corporate attorney, and found mainstream reach as the White Witch in the Chronicles of Narnia films and the Ancient One in Marvel's Doctor Strange. A frequent Wes Anderson collaborator since Moonrise Kingdom in 2012, she's continued through art-house work like We Need to Talk About Kevin, Suspiria, and Memoria, collecting honors along the way: MoMA tribute in 2013, BFI Fellowship and Venice's Golden Lion in 2020, the Honorary Golden Bear in 2025. The New York Times in 2020 named her one of the century's greatest actors.
