Biography:
 
Born in London on 5 November 1961, Swinton attended Cambridge University where she received a degree in social and political sciences. While at Cambridge, she became involved in acting, performing in a number of stage productions. After her graduation, Swinton began her professional theater career, working for Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Swinton made her screen debut in Caravaggio (1986). It was for her role as the spurned queen in Edward II (1992) that Swinton earned her first dose of recognition, becoming a familiar face to audiences and earning a Best Actress prize at the Venice Film Festival for her work in the film. The acclaim and recognition Swinton garnered was greater after she starred in Orlando at the same year.

Following her appearances in Blue (1993) and Wittgenstein (1994), Swinton earned her strongest notices for her lead in Female Perversions (1996), in which she played a successful lawyer trying to cope with her own insecurities and self-destructive tendencies.

After starring in The Beach (2000), Swinton took the lead in The Deep End (2001). Noted for her delicately textured performance as an isolated and protective mother who makes a desperate bid to protect her son after assuming he has committed murder, many critics noted Swinton's performance as a key element to the film's success.

In 2003, Swinton gave strong performances opposite Michael Caine in the thriller The Statement and Ewan McGregor in the erotic drama Young Adam. In 2005, she appeared with Keanu Reeves in the supernatural thriller Constantine and played the White Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia.
