Career: Finding herself drawn to more obscure fare, Swinton began an association with experimental director Derek Jarman. She continued to work with Jarman for the next nine years, developing seven critically acclaimed films, including Caravaggio, The Last of England, The Garden, Edward II and Wittgenstein. After Jarman's untimely death in 1994, she took the title role in the hugely popular arthouse flick Orlando and began experimenting with new and untried directors and mediums, but also starred in more mainstream productions, such as The Beach, Constantine, Michael Clayton (for which she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar), and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She also had roles in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, I Am Love and Only Lovers Left Alive.
