Rachel Weisz: pictures pics photos wallpapers

Hugh Hefner requested that she pose for Playboy, she didn't accept.

Her dad invented life-saving respiratory medical equipment. And to hear Rachel Weisz tell it, both her parents could have used it when, as a teen, she told them she wanted to be an actress. "They said, 'Get a degree first.' And I did," says the Cambridge grad. "I'm a good little girl."

Rachel has dated Alessandro Nivola (her "I Want You" co-star) and Neil Morrissey ("My Summer ith Des" co-star).

She didn't change her name in the beginning of her career, because she did not want to betray her family

She smokes.

Rachel was very radical feminist in school, and she still is one.

When she was a kid, she spoke only German

(2001) Dated director Sam Mendes

Her mother, Ruth, is a Viennese-born psychotherapist (wanted to act herself, encouraged Rachel to try theatre). Her father, George, is a Hungarian-born inventor.

"I find Hollywood really toxic"

"People find out I'm an actress and I see that 'whore' look flicker across their eyes"

"i once made the mistake of telling someone that I always wanted to be a barrister-- and I got a pitying look, flollowed by an article along lines 'the poor little tart thinks she could get a proper job, but look at the way she photographs"'

"I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans." ... (read more)

For the past few years, Rachel Weisz has been 'the girl most likely to'. So far, fate has had other plans. Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, Michael Winterbottom's I Want You, Land Girls with Anna Friel and Catherine McCormack... duds, all of them. Which is one reason why Weisz has ended up being better known for having a famous boyfriend - Neil Morrissey of Men Behaving Badly - than for her acting ability. It's a shame, because in The Mummy she proves that, as well as being at home in costume dramas, art-house flicks and action movies, she's also a dab hand at comedy.

The Mummy is an unutterably silly confection, a crowd-pleasing jumble of scarab beetles, swashbuckling, sarcophagi and special effects. A $90-million remake of the 1932 classic starring Boris Karloff, it's part Indiana Jones, part Carry On Up the Cairo Museum of Antiquities.
