Mia Wasikowska ( ;〔〔 born October 1989) is an Australian actress and director. After starting her acting career in Australian television and film, she first became known to a wider audience following her critically acclaimed work on the HBO television series ''In Treatment''. She gained worldwide prominence in 2010 after starring as Alice in Tim Burton's $1 billion-grossing ''Alice in Wonderland'' and appearing in the comedy-drama film ''The Kids Are All Right'', a role for which she received the Hollywood Awards' Breakthrough Actress Award. In 2011, Wasikowska portrayed the title character in Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of ''Jane Eyre,'' and starred in Gus Van Sant's drama ''Restless'' and Rodrigo Garcia's drama ''Albert Nobbs''. She also starred in John Hillcoat's crime drama ''Lawless'' (2012) and in Park Chan-wook's psychological thriller ''Stoker'' (2013). ==Early life== Wasikowska was born and raised in Canberra, Australia.〔 She is the middle child of three, with an older sister, Jess, and a younger brother, Kai.〔〔 Her mother, Marzena Wasikowska, is a Polish-born photographer, while her father, John Reid, is an Australian photographer and collagist.〔〔〔 In 1998, when she was eight years old, Wasikowska and her family moved to Szczecin, Poland, for a year, after her mother had received a grant to produce a collection of work based on her own experience of having emigrated to Australia in 1974, at the age of eleven.〔〔 Wasikowska and her siblings took part in the production as subjects; she explained to Johanna Schneller of the ''Toronto Globe and Mail'' in July 2010, "We never had to smile or perform. We weren't always conscious of being photographed. We'd just do our thing, and she'd take pictures of us."〔 At the age of nine Wasikowska began training as a ballerina with Jackie Hallahan at the Canberra Dance Development Centre, with hopes of going professional. She began dancing ''en pointe'' at thirteen, and was training 35 hours a week in addition to attending school full-time,〔〔 her daily routine consisting of leaving school in the early afternoon and dancing until nine o'clock at night.〔 A spur on her heel hampered her dancing.〔 Her passion for ballet also waned due to the increasing pressure to achieve physical perfection and her growing dissatisfaction with the industry in general, and she quit at fourteen. However, she credits ballet with improving her ability to handle her nerves in auditions.〔 At the same time, she had been exposed to European and Australian cinema at an early age, particularly Krzysztof Kieślowski's ''Three Colours'' trilogy and Gillian Armstrong's ''My Brilliant Career''.〔 Although she was shy and averse to performing during her school years,〔〔 she became inspired to break into acting after watching Holly Hunter in ''The Piano'' and Gena Rowlands in ''A Woman Under the Influence'',〔 in addition to the opportunity of exploring imperfections in film.〔 Despite having no prior acting experience, Wasikowska looked up twelve Australian talent agencies on the Internet and contacted them all, receiving only one response; she successfully arranged a meeting following persistent callbacks.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mia Wasikowska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
