Anna Paquin attractive lady
Anna Paquin, a versatile performer, was born in 1982. She moved with her family to New Zealand when she was a child, where she landed her first film role at the age of 9. Her work in The Piano earned her an Academy Award. More movies followed, including Fly Away Home, X-Men and Margaret. Paquin also stars in the hit television drama True Blood.The daughter of two teachers, Anna Paquin moved to New Zealand when she was very young. She grew up there with her sister, Katya, and her brother, Andrew. On a lark, Paquin decided to audition for a role in a new movie directed by Jane Campion. Only 9 years old at the time, she had no professional acting experience before she went to the open casting call. Beating out hundreds of other young girls, Paquin won the part of Flora McGrath in The Piano. She earned strong reviews for her work on the historical drama. In the film, she played the daughter of a mute woman (Holly Hunter). The pair travel to New Zealand so that Hunter’s character can marry a wealthy man (Sam Neill), but she falls for one of his workers (Harvey Keitel). Paquin won an Academy Award for the film at the tender age of 11.
Anna Paquin’s star quality started to gain a higher quotient of sexiness about the time that she played a groupie in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous and put her boyfriend into a coma with her mutant powers in X-Men. Having now added sexy outfits to her wardrobe, a tan to her very fair complexion and traded in her brown locks for blond hair for her True Blood duties, Anna Paquin has morphed into a genuine television sex symbol. Her recent nude Rolling Stone cover only confirms it. We’ll admit that her on-screen telepathic powers and all the vampire sex on her show are pretty awesome too.
Luckily, Anna Paquin’s mutant and telepathic powers have never crossed over from the screen into reality, so men who date her wouldn’t have to be worried about her reading their minds on the first date or rendering them unconscious at the end of the evening. In fact, their biggest concern would have to be humor, as it’s the ability to appreciate life’s laughter that Anna Paquin values in a relationship — whether it’s men or women, since she’s on the record as being bisexual. Having previously dated Kieran Culkin (younger brother of Macaulay Culkin) and Logan Marshall-Green, Anna Paquin has found her long-term lifemate in her True Blood costar Stephen Moyer, with whom she tied the knot in 2010. Sorry, guys. She’s off the market.

As the second youngest person in history to ever win an Oscar, there were a lot of expectations on Anna Paquin after such an incredible show business beginning. Instead of cracking under the pressure and entering into a life of sin and regret (like many other child actors), Paquin has restricted the sin and regret to her roles rather than herself and emerged as a stoic, gifted and Golden Globe-winning actress in her adult years. Having followed up her child success in The Piano with mainstream comic book fun (the X-Men films), gritty drama (The 25th Hour), horror (Trick ‘r Treat and the upcoming Scream 4), and now the pop culture vampire staple otherwise known as HBO’s True Blood, Anna Paquin has amassed an impressive and consistently entertaining collection of credits.A performer who truly relishes the opportunity to play someone else — and enjoy acting out the consequences of a colorful life without actually having to live through it — Anna Paquin is usually careful enough to choose roles that challenge her creatively and also reward her audience for watching them. Not restricted to film and television, she’s also an accomplished and award-winning theater actress who has appeared in American productions like The Glory of Living, as well as This is Our Youth, which was performed in London’s prestigious West End. In 2007, Paquin scored her first Emmy Award nomination for her work on Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. She played a schoolteacher who worked with a Sioux doctor to help Native Americans on a reservation in the late 1800s. Moving to more modern and fantastical material, Paquin fought to be cast as Sookie Stackhouse in the supernatural drama True Blood. “I was the pale brunette from New Zealand, and I’m playing the Southern tanned blonde, essentially a Hooters waitress. It wasn’t the most obvious casting choice, but I just really wanted it and I didn’t stop until they said yes,” she told Daily Variety.Set a small Louisiana town, True Blood features an unusual mix of characters, including vampires and werewolves. Paquin’s Sookie is sought after by vampires Bill and Eric (Stephen Moyers and Alexander Skarsgard) and the werewolf Alcide (Joe Manganiello). Paquin picked a Golden Globe Award in 2009 for her work on the show.
On 5 August 2009, Paquin announced her engagement to her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, whom she had been dating since filming the series pilot in 2007. They married on 21 August 2010 at a private residence in Malibu, California. Paquin and Moyer have a son, Charlie, and a daughter, Poppy, who are fraternal twins born in September 2012. Through her marriage to Moyer, Paquin also has a stepson, Billy (born in 2000), and a stepdaughter, Lilac (born in 2002). The family resides in Venice, Los Angeles.On 1 April 2010, Paquin came out as bisexual in a public service announcement for the Give a Damn campaign as part of the True Colours Fund, an advocacy group organised by Cyndi Lauper dedicated to LGBT equality. The True Colours Fund was created to “inspire and engage everyone, especially straight people, to become active participants in the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality”. The video features Anna Paquin stating, “I’m Anna Paquin. I’m bisexual, and I give a damn”. When asked about her participation in the video, Paquin responded by saying, “It wasn’t like it was a big secret, it was just a cause I cared about and privately supported, but not one that I had ever had an opportunity to speak out about in a way that would be useful. Obviously I know that one person’s voice doesn’t necessarily do that much, but I just wanted to do my bit.” In May 2012, in a Us Weekly interview Paquin shoots down the notion that bisexuality is a choice. “My sexuality is not made up, for a bisexual, it’s not about gender. That’s not the deciding factor to who they’re attracted to,” stated Paquin.Anna also supports other charities and foundations such as the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
