Biography
Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz A British actress whose name and dark looks effortlessly conjure up associations with Eastern European exoticism, Rachel Weisz is an intelligent, versatile actress committed to the artistry of her vocation and finds roles in theatre more fulfilling than the fickle vagaries of Hollywood.

The daughter of a Jewish Hungarian inventor and an Austrian psychoanalyst (both sides of the family fled Fascist Europe during the 1930s), Weisz was born in London on March 3, 1971. She had casual work as a model but by the age of 17, had decided she wanted to act, but her parents demanded that she finish her education first. At 18, she spent the summer studying with RADA-trained Ken Campbell who she described as 'absolutely bananas, but a visionary,' and after graduating in English from the prestigious Cambridge University, she broke into acting with a West End role in Noel Coward's Design for Living.

Weisz's performance in the play won her the Critics' Circle B
