Rachel Weisz Biography

Birthdate: March 7, 1971

Birthplace: London, England, UK

Sign: Pisces

Rachel Weisz was born a blend of Jewish, Hungarian, Austrian, and Italian descent. She was born into an intellectual family of an inventor and a psychoanalyst on March 7, 1971 in London, England. She is the first child of George Weisz and Edith Ruth whose relationship was strained throughout Rachel's early life.

Weisz, who was frequently rebellious, passed through a series of schools as a consequence. Despite her attempts to gain her parents' attention, her parents separated when she turned 15. By the time she finished her high school career at St. Paul's Girl's School in 1989, Rachel had her mind set on becoming an actress, a profession Edith encouraged after she began modeling at the age of 14. Rachel became an English Literature major at Cambridge University and became involved in various stage productions at the school. She founded a theater group called Talking Tongues, with her college friends. Through this drama troupe, the hazel-eyed beauty received her first accolade when she unexpectedly won a Guardian Student Drama Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1991.

Rachel then headed to London to perform at the National Theatre where she managed to draw the attention of a stage director named Sean Mathias, who happened to attend their show. He cast her alongside Rupert Everett in his 1994 West End revival of Noel Coward's "Design for Living" at the Gielgud Theatre. Her portrayal of Gilda in this acclaimed play led to her being honored with the title of Most Promising Newcomer at Critics' Choice Circle Awards that same year.

Rachel smoothly crossed over to big screen productions, quickly becoming included in two movie projects of "Stealing Beauty" and "Chain Reaction." Both of these movies were released in 1996. Although "Reaction" enjoyed a fair amount of commercial success worldwide, it was "Beauty" that brought her to the world stage and earned her international notice. Her excellent work earned huge praise from critics and audiences and provided her greater access to enter the Hollywood film industry. She got enough buzz to earn her a female leading role in "Swept from the Sea" in 1997, which also starred Ian McKellen and Kathy Bates.

Her next picture, "The Mummy" in 1999, truly propelled her to the bigger recognition and to the forefront of the Hollywood scene. This film raked in more than $415 million worldwide. Rachel chose to return to the theater and acted in the adaptations of Tennessee Williams' "Suddenly Last Summer" and Neil LaBute's "The Shape of Things" before reuniting with the cast of "Mummy" to film its sequel, "The Mummy Returns" in 2001.

Weisz quickly emerged as one of the most sought female stars by the turn of the millennium. She later found herself involved in a series of high-profile film features including, "Enemy of the Gates" in 2001, "About a Boy" in 2002, and "Runaway Jury" in 2003. Rachel appeared opposite Keanu Reeves in "Constantine" and delivered a compelling performance as Ralph Fiennes' murdered wife in "The Constant Gardner." Rachel earned a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture and a 2006 SAG Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Rachel had the highlight of her career when AMPAS granted her an Academy Award for Best performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role at the 2006 ceremony. She continued her extraordinary acting skills in "The Fountain" alongside High Jackman and Ellen Burstyn. She also gave voice to fantasy tale, "Eragon." She quickly followed that performance with a role in the holiday comedy, "Fred Claus" in 2007.

Rachel has signed on to several high-profile big screen features for the next two years. among the films are "My Blueberry Nights" in 2008, "The Brothers Bloom" in 2008, "The Lovely Bones" in 2009, and "Dirt Music" in 2009.

Although Rachel continues to be in demand as an A-list actress, she makes time to have a private life. Rachel first dated actor Ben Miller for two years. That relationship ended in 1993. She had a brief relationship in the mid-90s with Alessandro Nivola and then Neil Morrissey by 1998. Weisz has also been linked with celebrated film director Sam Mendes and eventually engaged to filmmaker, Darren Aronofsky. Weisz and Aronofsky welcomed the arrival of their first child, Henry Chance on May 31, 2006 in New York City.

Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai fight at award ceremony

BollywoodWorld.com, Everybody knows that lovebirds Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai can never keep their eyes away from each other. The couple has always been seen extremely happy together on every occasion. But now, it seems that the long honeymoon of the couple is over and they are ready to enter the real conjugal world where some misunderstandings and sweet-bitter fight is normal.

The gorgeous ‘Bachchan bahu’ always gets excited whenever she is seen surrounded by her family. This has become a regular practice since her marriage to junior Bachchan. However, this over-the-top behavior of Ash has been noticed by her loving hubby too, and he is probably feeling embarrassed for the same. Recently, this became an issue between the couple and it led to a heated argument.

Ash and Abhi was on their way to an award ceremony and actor Kunal Kapoor was also along with them. Abhi asked her to be a bit soft in her expression as the actress was reportedly getting too loud and vocal. A subtle request from her hubby came instantly to keep her voice low. Gauging the sensitivity situation, Kunal preferred to leave the place to allow them to settle their spat.

The report further suggests that Ash failed to maintain low profile even after being warned by her hubby. So, Abhi took his beautiful wife to the hotel lobby and tried to have a word with her peacefully to clear his point. However, as per the sources, Abhi could not make her realize the issue and she started arguing at the top of her voice. At this, Abhi lost his temper and asked the personal security guards to take Ash to her room.

Well, we thought being a former Miss World, Aishwarya would behave in a more matured manner! Does it mean that the fighting days have started in the Bachchan family? We hope, Abhi manages to convince his intelligent wife and she calms down.

Katrina Kaif and Deepika Fighting For Joker!

Two leading ladies of Bollywood Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone are again pitted against each other! However, Ranbir Kapoor is not the issue this time. The actresses are fighting to be the leading lady of Akshay Kumar’s Joker.

Joker is an upcoming movie to be made jointly by Akshay’s Hari Om Productions and Farah Khan and Shirish’s Three’s Company. There is a buzz that two leading actresses are in the run to star opposite Akshay in this movie.

A source was quoted saying that both Katrina and Deepika think that they are doing Joker whereas the other one does not know about it. During the shooting of Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan, Kareena had a talk with Akshay regarding this and has taken it for granted that she will be starring in it.

The source added that the recent development is the inclusion of the other lady Deepika as she is best suitable for the script. So, this has left Akshay in a dilemma and he’s trying to find out the best way to inform one of the actresses to take a walk. This has become tougher for Akshay because of his close association with both the ladies and does not like to hurt feelings of either of them.

In the meantime, there was a buzz that Katrina had a fallout with Akshay and this has upset the actress very much. She wants to declare it clearly that she is still very close to the actor.

The co-producer Shirish opted to stay out of any controversy by saying that they are still hunting for the female lead opposite Akshay and have not finalized anyone yet. He added that they are considering the top actresses as it is a performance- oriented role and will make a final decision jointly with Akshay in a week.

Well, now its on Akshay whom he prefers to shed tears and who will enter happily in the Joker team!

Sushmita Sen and Wasim Akram break up their relation

Beauty Queen Sushmita Sen has added one more break-up in the history of her relationships. This time the poor chap is Wasim Akram, the former Pakistani cricketer. The couple had a very short-lived relation of five months, which started following their appearance in dance reality show as judges.

They met in the Colors’ show Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina, which was however not their first meeting. Their first interaction was in Dubai in 2006. But, they came closer during co-judging the show and fell in love.

The decision of break-up is said to be a mutual one. The reason behind their separation is said to be the increasing closeness of Sushmita with Indian Premier League (IPL) chief Lalit Modi.


In October 2009, when Wasim lost his wife Huma, he found support from Sushmita and fell for her. The long distance relationship between them is also said to be one of the reasons of this break up. Wasim was in Pakistan most of the time and Sushmita is not comfortable with settling down in Pakistan. After mutual discussion, the couple decided to settle down in Dubai but after sometime the lady showed her unwillingness to move to Dubai also. After having several arguments on the issue of settlement, they finally decided to break up.

Well, considering the relationship history of Sushmita, the news does not surprise anyone!

Who Says Another Girl Won’t Complete My Family? – Kajol

As motherhood approaches again Kajol is not praying for a son. She is equally enthused by the idea of another girl child in her family. “I’m just hoping for a healthy happy baby and a healthy happy mama to look after the baby. I’ve a wonderful daughter. How can I say no to another girl just like her? I don’t believe I need a son to complete my family. My sister Tanissha and I made quite a complete family. And so did my mom (Tanuja) and her sister (the late Nutan).”


And for those who are hoping to see more of Kajol on screen after she becomes mother for a second time, there’s disappointment in store. Kajol doesn’t intend to increase her volume of work after motherhood. “I’ve worked a lot. I enjoy doing just 1-2 films a year. I don’t think I want to do more than that. I’m happy with my pace of work. If I do too many films people would get bored of me.”

There is no plan of a comeback after motherhood. “It all depends on how I feel after I have my baby. I refuse to take a decision here and now. It’s my prerogative to do what I like. I firmly believe women should have babies when they can take care of them. As simple as that. I want my baby to arrive and I want to watch him or her grow. I took time to have a second baby because I wanted to give myself fully to motherhood. I refuse to miss out on the joy of watching my child grow for anything in the world.”

Imran Khan said NO to Anil Kapoors’s Offer

Sonam Kapoor and her sister Rhea who produces Aisha offered the male lead to Sonam’s pal Imran Khan. At that time Imran and Sonam were already doing I Hate Luv Storys and had become great buddies. Naturally Sonam presumed Imran would happily do her home production.

But the Kapoor family was in for a shock when Imran declined the offer pleading there was not much for him to do.

Anil admits Imran was indeed the first choice for Abhay Deol’s role.

Says the candid star-actor, “Rhea and Sonam did send the script over to Imran. I don’t know why he didn’t do it. Maybe, he was wary of a script that was named after the heroine. But Abhay is the perfect choice”.

After Imran’s refusal, Anil immediately commanded the Aisha team to rechristen the film. “I told them no hero would take a film seriously if it is named after the heroine. I ordered them to call the film ‘Production No. 3’ not Aisha. I was different I did so many heroine-centric films like Beta with Madhuri Dixit and Lamhe with Sridevi. Even Mr. India was more Sri’s picture although it was our home production.”

Anil is very proud of his daughters for having managed Aisha all on their own. “I did nothing. I gave Sonam and Rhea a free hand. I was there to help them with inputs. But Aisha is completely their baby. Now we’re planning 2-3 new productions. One of them would definitely have Sonam in it.”

Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor on the lookout for their Dream Home

The flats on top floor of the apartment that is on construction just opposite Fortune Heights have nothing much to do with the whopping prices of real estate properties in Bandra west. It is the apartment owned by Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor on the tenth floor of Fortune Heights that has set the prices of flats in the upcoming multistoried building on fire.

The office of Saif’s production house too is on the second floor of Fortune Heights. The flats in the building overlooking Bollywood’s celebrity couple’s living room have been a treasure trove for the wily builder.

After Saif had bought the penthouse, the area became a hotspot in the real estate market of Bandra. The most celebrated actor had selected this apartment after much toing and froing. Adding to the real estate prices in the area was Saif’s ladylove Kareena’s arrival in the apartment. The buzz around is that the couple is on the lookout for a dream home again.

Bebo said that Saif and she are happy at their present address. They are in love with the vibe of their apartment in Fortune Heights. She feared that with the rise of other buildings around, their privacy may be at stake. That is why they intent to buy a bungalow in and around Bandra. She added that an English-styled villa is Saif’s dream home, but it is difficult to find that kind of home. Or else, the couple would make a happy nest of the topmost apartment in the building opposite.
