Julia Ormond Bio

Julia's rise to fame was oddly an ebb point in her career. Julia was later seen in a myriad of independent and foreign films from the country. She played the title role in the Danish/German/Swedish co-production Smilla's Sense of Snow (1997) as a woman who gets involved with a strange murder mystery; the Russian period drama The Barber of Siberia (1998) as a lovely American who gets dangerously involved with a young Russian cadet; and involved herself in another messy affair with Vince Vaughn in the indie drama The Prime Gig (2000). Also, she was a participant in David Hare's play "My Zinc Bed" which earned her an Olivier Award nomination in 2001 for "Best Actress." Into the millennium, Julia found herself busy film-wise , starring in the political thriller Resistance (2003), cult filmmaker David Lynch's thoroughly unconventional Inland Empire (2006), I Know Who Killed Me (2007) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Music Never Stopped (2011), Albatross (2011), My Week with Marilyn (2011) (as Vivien Leigh), Chained (2012), Ladies in Black (2018) and Son of the South (2020). On TV she appeared in the mini-series Beach Girls (2005), and also recurring roles on CSI: NY (2004), Nurse Jackie (2009), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001), Mad Men (2007), Gold Digger (2019), and a series-starring role as one of Witches of East End (2013). Incorporated (2016) was a show with a brief run time in which she starred.
