BIOGRAPHY  
 
Anna Paquin gave an extraordinary, Oscar-winning performance as the fiercely articulate daughter--and voice--of a feisty mute woman (Holly Hunter) in Jane Campion's sensuous film "The Piano" (1993). Just 11 years old at the time, Paquin was (to date) the second youngest person to ever win an Academy Award. Easily embarrassed when talking about her success or fame, the young woman kept her statuette in the back of a closet for years so as not to make non-acting friends and family feel uncomfortable.
