Mia Wasikowska, from Canberra, Australia, first drew notice as a suicidal gymnast in HBO's 'In Treatment' (2008) before Tim Burton made her a star as Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland' (2010), one of the highest-grossing films of its year. Rather than chase blockbusters, she pursued auteurs: 'The Kids Are All Right' (2010), 'Jane Eyre' (2011), Park Chan-wook's 'Stoker' (2013), Jim Jarmusch's 'Only Lovers Left Alive' (2013) and Guillermo del Toro's 'Crimson Peak' (2015). Her register is quiet watchfulness, heroines whose stillness hides steel.
