Anna Paquin has always been a compelling force, and she has managed to put together a career that seems to be based on being part of projects that she enjoys. Paquin was cast in her first live-action movie, "The Piano," when she was only 9 years old — and she won an Oscar for it. While many might think winning an Oscar at a young age would be her greatest achievement, in 2019, Paquin told The Guardian that that's not the case.
In fact, she was quick to give credit for the feat to the other women who were part of the film. "My Oscar? That was a combination of Holly Hunter being an amazing actress, Jane being an extraordinary director and me being in the right place at the right time," she said. "I had no idea what I was doing. It's given me this amazing life, but it's not the highlight of my career."
After playing Mackenzie Siler, younger sister of Zack, in "She's All That," Paquin made a leap that would change her trajectory and joined the cast of "X-Men," which was released in 2000, as Rogue. In 2008, Paquin jumped to television and starred as lead Sookie Stackhouse in "True Blood." She's since appeared in the likes of "Alias Grace," "The Affair," and "Flack."
