Laura Linney seems to have built a career playing idealistic women who are not always as normal as they appear. Getting her start in theatre, this Oscar nominated actress has developed a reputation as one of Hollywoods finest stars. 05:56 Laura appeared in minor roles in early 1990s films, before coming to prominence in the television mini-series Tales of the City. She was cast in a series of high-profile thrillers, like Primal Fear and Congo before she captured the attention of critics and audiences alike with her Academy Award nominated performance in You Can Count on Me. 06:17 Laura admitted that she feels privileged to be a part of Hollywood. 06:22 SOT Laura Linney I don't think in gender terms. I really don't. I mean I know that I'm in an extremely privileged position being a woman and being able to work in film, particularly in Hollywood and being comfortable here. I know that that's an extreme privilege. But I didn't grow up thinking about the difference and I don't know if that's because I grew up in the theatre or not but I'm trying to embrace the actress within. I've always considered myself an actor and maybe I should start to embrace the actress within. I don't know."
