Anna Friel - Chickipedia

Anna Friel is an outspoken British actress who stars in the new hit show Pushing Daisies (2007). Anne began working as an actress when she was a teenager. Her first work was in the theatre but she turned to film in 1997 where she played opposite Ewan McGregor in the film Land Girls (1998).

Life Story

Anna is a woman for a real man as she has no problem letting people know how she feels and she makes sure she gets noticed. She proved this well enough in 1994 when she had a lesbian screen kiss with Nicola Stephenson on the set of the TV show Brookside. A lot of actresses would have refused to do this because of the controversy it would cause at the time, but Anna didn’t bat an eye.

After Brookside in 1995, it looked as if Anna was going to make it really big in movies. The press certainly dubbed her that way. However, her first movie, The Tribe, was a bit dissappointing. Only recently has it even come out on DVD, and the main reason many people watched the movie was because of the nudity from Anna. Pretty much every movie Anna has done since has some nudity it, which ranges from bath scenes (very common) to flashing her breasts. She has also been caught in some topless beach photos off set when on holiday. She isn't shy about being naked and actually said in an interview, "I feel totally uninhibited about my body." She seem to star in movies with dismal titles. I think that is holding her "big break" back. She does too many "period pieces" and needs to focus on movies which appeal to a wider audience.

Her more recent movies are Goal! (2005) and Rubbish (2007), and TV shows, like The Jury (2004), but her biggest success to date might be on the new show Pushing Daisies which is a favorite among critics and viewers.

Anna is friends with fellow British hottie Rachael Wiesz and aussie cutie Naomi Watts.

Anne is of Irish descent and is married to actor David Thewlis. They have one child together.
