Anna Pakuin is one of the most successful contemporary actresses. She is removed from an early age. Winning more and more new fans, the actress continues to shine on the screen today.
Anna Paquin played one of the leading roles in the hit TV series True Blood.
The beginning of a film career
Anna Helen Paquin was born in Winnipeg, Canada on July 24, 1982 to a family of teachers. The girl has an older sister and brother.
The mother of the future celebrity taught English, and her father taught physical education. The family moved to New Zealand, the mother's homeland, when Anna was four.
When the future actress was nine, her sister and her friends went to screen tests. At the casting, a girl was chosen for a secondary role in the film "The Piano". Paquin Jr got it.
From the young performer, Jane Campion, the director of the picture, was delighted. She stated that the young talent also had the strongest artistry. In the process of work, Anna tried to repeat the game of the main character of the film, Holy Hunter. The girl liked the process of work.
A couple of years later, Pakuin won the prestigious Oscar for her work. Such success largely determined the future activities. After a successful debut, Pakuin received many offers. However, the teenager was not going to become an actress.
After some time, she agreed to participate in several commercials. At fourteen, Anna again came to the attention of filmmakers. She embodied the image of Jane Eyre on the screen. This work was followed by the painting "Fly Home".
The flowering of creativity
Parents broke up when their daughter was twelve. With sixteen-year-old Anna, the mother moved to Los Angeles. There, the girl graduated from school. Before the move, the performer constantly flew from one hemisphere to another, since most of the filming took place in the United States.
The life of a young actress was spent on suitcases in the literal sense. She had almost no time to communicate with friends. Anna managed to star in "Amistad", "Trouble", "At the wedding." Despite the successful circumstances, the girl entered the university after her studies. The break had to be done a year later: the next shooting began.
Being in demand as a child, Paquin has not lost her attractiveness for directors and matured. The girl carefully read all the scenarios offered to her.
She only agreed when she saw that they were giving her a really worthwhile job. She consulted with her parents and managers, but she left the last word to herself.
One of the most famous projects with her participation was the X-Men film based on popular comics. Anna, who starred in all parts of the picture, played along with Hugh Jackson and Halle Barry.
During the breaks, the young actress managed to star in "Steamboy", "Darkness", "Jeanne d'Arc" and "Buffalo Soldiers".
The girl was seriously interested in ballet. Every day she studied, honing her skills.
Star roles
One of the main characters was entrusted to the performer in the film "Star State". At the same time, the performer acted as the executive producer of the tape. In the wake of success, several years later, the actress, together with her brother Andrew, created the production center Paquin Films.
Anna was nominated for an Emmy Award in July 2007 for Best Supporting Actress. The award was given to the performance of teacher Elaine Goodale in the telenovela "Bury My Heart in Wounded Knee." The painting was based on the novel of the same name by Dee Brown.
The comedy horror film appeared on screens in 2009. The project was called "Trick or Treat". Paquin took part in the filming. In April of the same year, viewers saw the actress in Irena Sendler's Braveheart. The plot told about the famous Polish nurse who rescued more than two and a half thousand Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto.
True Blood, a vampire series, began filming in 2008. There, the famous performer got the character Suki Stakhis. In total, they filmed five seasons of the project. It turned out to be very successful. In 2014, in the summer, the final season was released. The series brought the performer a Golden Globe.
From the first days of work, the actress began an affair with the performer of one of the main characters, Billy Compton, a vampire, Stephen Moyer. Both carefully concealed their relationship from everyone for a year. Both, in their own words, did not want to talk about the feelings arising between them, as about another affair.
Family life
During a joint vacation in Hawaii with children from the actor's previous marriage, Stephen offered his heart and hand to Anna on the beach. In 2010, on August 21, the charismatic couple got married. For the ceremony, they chose a private residence in Malibu.
On the beach, Anna Helen and Stephen exchanged solemn vows. Many of the Hollywood celebrities were spotted among the guests. Together with the newlywed, Elijah Wood starred in the film "Romance", came to the wedding of her friend and Carrie Preston, a colleague on "True Blood" together with her husband, star of the series "Lost" Michael Emerson.
The performer's personal life is going well. In 2012, the happy couple became parents. The thirty-year-old actress delighted her forty-two-year-old husband with twins, her daughter Poppy and her son Charles.
The addition became known long before the birth, although the actors carefully concealed the very fact of pregnancy. The culprit of the leak was unwittingly True Blood colleague Sam Tremell. He himself had recently become a father.
Therefore, he could not contain his happy emotions and gave out hidden information. For Anna, the children became the firstborn. Her husband already has a twelve-year-old son, Billy, and a ten-year-old daughter, Lilac.
