Biography:
Miranda
Otto
was
born
in
Brisbane,
Queensland,
Australia
on
December
16,
1967.
She
is
the
daughter
of
famed
Australian
actor,
Barry
Otto.
She
graduated
from
the
prestigious
NIDA
Theatrical
School
in
1990
and
has
been
nominated
four-times
in
the
Australian
Film
Institute's
for
best
actress.
Otto
made
her
film
debut
in
Emma's
War
in
1986
and
gained
critical
recognition
in
1991's
The
Girl
Who
Came
Late.
She
has
been
in
many
critically
acclaimed
but
little-seen
films.
Otto
finally
got
Hollywood's
attention
with
small
roles
in
major
motion
pictures
such
as
The
Thin
Red
Line
(1998)
and
Robert
Zemeckis'
What
Lies
Beneath
(2000).
After
Cameron
Diaz
decided
to
star
in
being
John
Malkovich,
Otto
lost
the
role
in
a
film
she
really
wanted
to
do.
The
director,
however,
remembered
her
and
cast
her
in
the
movie
Human
Nature
(much
to
Otto's
delight).
Otto
landed
the
role
of
Eowyn
in
the
Lord
of
the
Rings
trilogy
and
is
Tolkien's
only
really
detailed
female
character
in
the
books.
She
spent
six-months
on
set
learning
sword
fighting
and
horseback
riding.
Otto
was
married
to
Peter
O'Brien
in
early
2003.
The
Lord
of
the
Rings
movies
have
gained
her
world-wide
attention,
something
she's
not
entirely
sure
she
wants.
