7. Tilda Swinton
While a less familiar name than Kim K, British actress Tilda Swinton has been in some fantastic films, such as Cameron Crowe‘s Vanilla Sky, Judd Apatow’s Trainwreck, and, more recently, this year’s Hail, Caesar from the Coen Brothers. Her filmography is extensive, including work with award-winning directors David Fincher (of Zodiac fame), and Wes Anderson, who brought us The Royal Tenenbaums andGrand Budapest Hotel.
Ironically, Swinton was cast to play an alcoholic in the 2008 French crime drama, Julia, directed by Erick Zonca. According to a press piece in Reuters, Tilda Swinton says that “drinking just makes her sleepy or sick.” Swinton finds inspiration from friends who have struggled with alcoholism, which brings a richness and depth to her performance.
