Life's Work

Thandie Newton has established an impressive list of screen credits since making her film debut in 1992. Her work has run the gamut from "art house" pictures such as director Bernardo Bertolucci's Besieged, to Oprah Winfrey's highly touted production of Beloved, to the big budget action blockbuster Mission: Impossible 2. Although Newton has not yet broken through to stardom, it is just a matter of time before her name will go above the title. "With her physical gifts and intelligence, she could do whatever she wants," Edward Saxon, a co-producer of Beloved, said of Newton to Dan Jewel of People.

Thandie (pronounced Tan-dee) Newton was born in Zambia in 1972 to an English father, Nick, a lab technician and artist, and an Zimbabwean mother, Nyasha, a nurse. Newton's full first name is Thandiwe which means "beloved" in Zulu. When Newton was five years old her family, including her younger brother James, moved to England to escape political unrest in Africa. Newton was brought up in Penzance, a port city in southwest England, and experienced few racial problems during her childhood. "I am both Zimbabwean and English. I'm from nowhere. Because of my parents, however, I realized it was a strength, not a weakness. You're a bridge; you legitimize mixed race-ness. Is it right? Natural? Beautiful? Yes. Race problems are just made up," Newton told Time.

In Hollywood, Newton has discovered that her background is sometimes an asset since it makes her difficult to classify. "I'm thrilled that I can get right past prejudgements. I walk into a room in L.A. and [the way people see me] might seem to be a racial thing. But as soon as I open my mouth, it isn't about being Black anymore. Suddenly it's about being English," Newton told Chuck Arnold of People. At other times she finds the movie industry is baffled by the idea of a dark skinned woman with a posh British accent. "I get stuff here in Hollywood. Really high-powered people who make really, really, really dodgy suggestions about what it is to be Black. Honestly, it would leave your mouth open. It's stupid, stupid, stupid!" Newton explained to Time.
