Thandie the seductress... Miss Newton is high on my list whenever it comes to a new movie with her name attached on the roster. In 2 of my favourite Thandie movies, she's been nothing short of sexy as well as a little devious.. perfect babe combination! Those 2 movies? They are the Tom Cruise led 'Mission Impossible' and the relatively unknown all star independent gambling film featuring Sylvester Stallone, 'Shade'.
Fine-boned and soft-spoken, Thandie Newton displays a deceptive fragility that is betrayed by the strong, resilient characters she often portrays. Perhaps that's why she's in high demand for such roles, because she portrays the visual paradox so well on the silver screens. Thandie was born to a Zimbabwean mother and British father. I've always maintained the children of mixed relationships often turn out to be very beautiful. It's the gene pool's telling us to embrace global unity!
She broke into actor after meeting Australian director John Duigan, while a private school in North London. Thandie won the leading rule in his coming-of-age tale 'Flirting' (1991). Her next film of any significance was a minor role in 'Interview With the Vampire'. Throughout her actress evolution, Thandie has worked with superstars like Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Jason Patric, Nick Nolte, James Earl Jones, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jon Bon Jovi, Tim Roth and Tupac Shakur. She never looked out of step and often caught the gazes of critices in her mainstream and independent films.
Although Thandie was still a relatively obscure name in Hollywood, things change quickly when she started appearing in films like Gridlock'd, a film that won Newton raves for her turn as a heroine-addicted jazz singer . She went on to star in Beloved, a highly anticipated adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel, and for her portrayal of the mysterious, ghostly girl who torments Oprah Winfrey's Sethe. Finally, it was with her third film of 1998, Besieged, that Newton graduated from relative obscurity to the rank of Hollywood Up and Comer.
2000 was the year Thandie Newton became a household name, when she was casted opposite Tom Cruise in John Woo's 'Mission Impossible II'. Although the film received mixed reviews, Newton earned almost unanimous approval from critics, who praised her strong, dynamic performance. Her latest works include 'The Chronicles Of Riddick' with Vin Diesel, and the cult favourite 'Shade' starring alongside all-star casts such as Sylvestor, Stallone, Melanie Griffith, Gabriel Byrne, Stuart Townsend, and Jamie Foxx.
Sultry looks combined with that sexy "what do you think" smile and dimple. You're instantly drawn in by the temptress's biddings. She has played many strong, tough and even devious characters, you would think that she's somewhat like that in her real life. In fact it is true, this babe is so tough, she even opt for no anasthetics and chose home birth. But Thandie still remains very down to earth. Look forward to more exciting performances from Thandie in the future! This babe will absolutely deliver a winning performance!Babe Factor: 8.25/10
