Biography
Whether she is gracing her presence in art galleries for performance art pieces, serving as an elegant muse to forward-thinking fashion designers, or commanding the silver screen with her alluring presence, Tilda Swinton is one of those rare few actresses in the entertainment industry with the incredible ability to transform herself into complex and unforgettable characters.
With her striking androgynous features, gamine and statuesque figure, singular sense of style, and uncanny acting skills that are bolstered by her metamorphic talents, Swinton is undeniably a vanguard artist whose star power isn’t beholden to the machinations of mainstream Hollywood.
Born as Katherine Mathilda Swinton on November 5, 1960 in the United Kingdom, the British actress had a relatively upper-crust childhood and upbringing owing to the fact that her family is descended from an ancient Anglo-Scottish clan whose lineage dates back to the Middle Ages. She attended several independent schools during her youth and went on to graduate from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Social and Political Sciences in 1983. It was during her college years that she was first exposed to the world of acting by participating in theater and stage productions.
