Emily Mortimer - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

Emily Mortimer has impressed with roles in films as diverse as Shekhar Kapur's historical epic "Elizabeth" (1998) and Wes Craven's horror sequel "Scream 3" (2000). An early screen role in the 1996 thriller "The Ghost and the Darkness" featured Mortimer in the film's only prominent female role, playing Val Kilmer's wife. That same year she was featured in the sweet 1977-set Irish romance "The Last of the High Kings" (released on video as "Summer Fling" in the USA), playing Romy, the unattainable dream girl of Jared Leto's lovestruck Frankie. Mortimer teamed up with Kilmer again with a cameo role in "The Saint" in 1997. In 1998, the actress took a featured role in the A&E mystery special "The Killings at Badger's Drift" and returned the following year to American TV screens with an appropriately haunting turn as a beautiful but tormented young woman in "Cider With Rosie", a "Masterpiece Theatre" (PBS) presentation penned by her father, famed mystery novelist John Mortimer. Her capable turn as Esther in the event miniseries "Noah's Ark" aired on NBC that same year, broadened her audience considerably. 1999 feature film appearances included her turn as the ill-fated Perfect Girl in the popular romantic comedy "Notting Hill" and a supporting role in the British independent "Killing Joe".
