Laura Linney BIOGRAPHY
Linney's film career began in the early 90s with small roles in Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and Dave (1993). Linney's first substantial big-screen role was as the wife of the main character in Primal Fear (1996), and her superb performance brought her praise and a better selection of roles. Clint Eastwood chose Linney to play his daughter, another prominent role, in 1997's Absolute Power (1997), followed by another second billing in the following year's The Truman Show (1998). She found herself nominated for an Academy Award for this, her first lead role, for which her salary had been $10,000. Linney won numerous critics' awards for her role as Sammy, a single mother whose life is complicated by a new boss and the arrival in town of her aimless brother. On the heels of this success came her marvelous turn as Bertha Dorset in The House of Mirth (2000), clearly the best performance in a film of strong performances. Since then, Linney has frequently been offered challenging dramatic roles, and always rises to the occasion, such as in Mystic River (2003), in which she worked again with Eastwood, and Kinsey (2004), for which she received another Academy Award nomination.
