Sally Hawkins mini-bio:

Sally Hawkins (born April 27, 1976) is a British actress best known for her
performances as Susan in the Academy award-nominated Mike Leigh production
Vera Drake (2004), as Sue Trinder in the BBC's Fingersmith (2005) and for her
Silver Bear winning performance as Poppy in Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky (2008).

The daughter of well known authors and illustrators of children's books, Jacqui and
Colin Hawkins, she was raised in Dulwich, south-east London where she attended
James Allen's Girls' School (JAGS), leaving in 1994. Hawkins then went on to study
at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA), graduating in 1998.

Her theatre appearances include Much
Ado About Nothing (2000), A Midsummer
Night's Dream (2000), Misconceptions (2001), Country Music (2004) and as
Adela in David Hare's version of
Federico García Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba in 2005. Hawkins
made her first notable big screen performance as Samantha in another
Mike Leigh film, All or Nothing in 2002. She also appeared as Slasher in
the 2004 production of Layer Cake. Her first major television role came in 2005
when she played Susan Trinder in the BAFTA-nominated BBC drama Fingersmith, an adaptation of Sarah
Waters' novel of the same name; she
co-starred with Imelda Staunton, as
she had in Vera Drake. Since then
she has gone on to star in another
BBC adaptation, Patrick Hamilton's
Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky. In 2006, Hawkins returned to the theatre,
appearing at the Royal Court Theatre in Jez Butterworth's play The Winterling.

Professing a love for comedy, Hawkins has appeared in three episodes of the hit
BBC comedy series Little Britain. She has also contributed her writing skills and
voice to the BBC Radio 4 series Concrete Cow.

At the 2007 Monte-Carlo TV Festival, she won the 'Golden Nymph' award in the 'Best Performance by an Actress' category for her role as Anne Elliot in Persuasion.

At the 2008 Berlin Film Festival, Hawkins won the 'Best Actress' Silver Bear award
for her role as Poppy in Happy-Go-Lucky - a performance that has since generated considerable Oscar talk.

In 2008 she will work on the films The Roaring Girl (as Bernadette Devlin), Desert Flower, and Happy Ever Afters.

Why can't I put my favourite actresses on my top 10 because of having the most stupid unrecognizable pictures of them are on the cover? We should rate pictures and the most high rated picture should be their avatar.

I admire an actor who can so completely become a character that I don't think about who is playing the part.
