Anna Pakuin - biography and personal life (photo)

Anna Helen Pakuin with confidence can be called one of the most talented and successful actresses of our time. Her career began in early childhood. The girl continues to shine on the big screens and today, winning the hearts of all the new fans. About the personal life and successes of this actress in the professional field, we'll talk, especially since a couple of months on the screens the final season of the series "True Blood", in which Anna Paquin plays one of the main roles, is released.

Childhood and family

Anna Paquin, whose biography is quite rich and interesting, was born in Canada. She has an older sister and a brother. Anna's parents were teachers: the mother was engaged in teaching English, and the father - physical education. When the girl was four years old, her family moved to New Zealand. From there, Anna's mother was born.

Once the elder sister in the company of girlfriends went to the casting, where they selected the girl for a secondary role in the film "Piano". They took the nine-year-old Anna with them. Surprisingly, it was her role. The director of the film, Jane Campion, was delighted with the young Pacquin and described her as a young talent with a strong artistry.

The role of the protagonist in the film was played by Holi Hunter, whose game during the filming Anna tried to copy. In general, the girl really enjoyed taking part in the filming of the cinema. Two years later Anna Paquin became the owner of the prestigious Oscar for the role of the second plan in the picture "Piano". This first and truly serious success determined her future acting destiny.

Early Career and Adolescence

After working in the "Piano" Anna began to receive many proposals for participation in the cinema. However, the girl was in no hurry to continue her acting career. After some time she agreed to take part in the filming of several commercials. At the age of 14, Paquin again attracted attention, having played a prominent role in the cinema. This time, she appeared in front of the audience in the image of Jane Eyre. After that, another successful film called "Fly Home" was followed.

When Anna was 12 years old, her parents divorced. At the age of sixteen, she moved with her mother to Los Angeles, where she graduated from high school. Prior to this, the girl had to constantly fly from one city to another, changing the hemisphere, since most of the filming took place in the United States. Anna had a hard time, because she had very little time to communicate with friends, and her life was literally on suitcases. During this period, Paquin starred in such films as "Amistad", "Trouble", "At the Wedding" and in some others.

After graduation, despite the successfully developing film career, the girl decided to go to university. However, in study a year later had to take a break, as Anna began another shoot.

Continuation of career

Unlike many actresses, who in childhood successfully acted in film, Anna Pakuin and grown up remained very much in demand. All the scenarios that were offered to her, she studied very carefully. Anna gave her consent only if her role seemed really worthwhile. She, of course, took into account the views of parents and managers, but the last word always remained for her.

So, one of the most famous films with her participation was the fantastic trilogy "X-Men", based on popular comics. Along with Anna, who starred in all three parts, such stars as Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry took part in the project. In the breaks between the shootings of "X-Men", the actress managed to work on such films as "Steamboat", "Darkness", "Soldiers of Buffalo", "Jeanne d'Arc", etc.

At this time Anna Pakuin seriously took a great interest in ballet. She practiced almost daily, envying his skill with enviable persistence.

Separate attention deserves the work of the actress in the comedy "Star State", where the girl not only performed one of the main roles, but also acted as executive producer. Inspired by success, a few years later, Anna and her brother Andrew founded a production company called Paquin Films.

Anna Paquin today

In 2008, the shooting of the series about vampires "True Blood" started, where the actress played the main character named Suki Stackhouse. The project was very successful: in all, five seasons were lifted, and in the summer of 2014 the final season will be released.

From the very first days of work on the series, Anna began an affair with the performer of another leading role (the vampire Bill Compton) - Stephen Moyer. However, the actors carefully concealed their relationship until 2009. According to them, they did not want everyone to take this novel as an ordinary affair.

Anna Paquin: Wedding and Family Life

Steven Moyer made his lover offer in a romantic setting on the beach in Hawaii, where they went on vacation with the children of the actor from a previous marriage. The charming couple was married on August 21, 2010. The ceremony took place on the territory of a private residence in Malibu. Their solemn vows, Anna Pakuin and Stephen Moyer, were pronounced on the beach. Among the guests were such Hollywood celebrities as Elijah Wood (who was filming with the bride in the film "Romantics") and Carrie Preston (an actress from "True Blood") with her husband Michael Emerson (star of the series "Lost").

Anna Pakuin: children

In September 2012, the 30-year-old actress gave birth to her 42-year-old husband Steven Moyer of the twins. The daughter was named Poppy, and the son - Charlie. Despite the fact that the actors hid that they are expected to be added to the family, that Anna Paquin is pregnant, it became known long before the appearance of twins to the light. This was told by their colleague on the TV series "True Blood" Sam Tremell. The fact is that he himself was shortly before the happy father of the twins, and in one of the interviews he simply could not restrain his emotions about this.

By the way, recall that Stephen Moyer is already the father of two children from the previous marriage: 12-year-old son Billy and 10-year-old daughter Lailak. For Anna Pakuin, the twins became the first children.
