Born in Winnipeg, Canada, on July 24, 1982, Anna Paquin moved to New Zealand with her family when she was 4 years old.At the tender age of 11, Paquin won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her first screen appearance: director Jane Campion's sensuous film The Piano (1993), in which Paquin played the feisty, articulate daughter of a mute woman (Holly Hunter).
