Judy Davis
After making her feature film debut in the 1977 buddy comedy "High Rolling", Davis first came to prominence for her role as Sybylla Melvyn in the coming-of-age saga "My Brilliant Career" (1979), for which she won BAFTA Awards for Best Actress and Best Newcomer. Davis was particularly praised for her performance; Janet Maslin of "The New York Times" admired her for bringing "an unconventional vigor to every scene she's in, even in a film that's as consistently animated as this one," while Luke Buckmaster, writing for "The Guardian" in 2014, opined that Davis gave "a rousing performance as bull-headed protagonist Sybylla Melvyn. The term “once in a lifetime” tends to be slapped around like a bumper sticker, but this meaty role lives up to the accolade." Her breakthrough success continued with lead roles in the Australian New Wave classics "Winter of Our Dreams", as a waif-like heroin addict, the drama "Heatwave", as a radical tenant organizer, and the thriller "Hoodwink", as a sexually-repressed clergyman's wife. Of her performance in "Winter of Our Dreams", Roger Ebert noted, "Davis brought a kind of wiry, feisty intelligence to "My Brilliant Career", playing an Australian farm woman who rather felt she would do things her own way. She's wonderful again this time, in a completely different role as an insecure, distrustful, skinny street waif. [She] performs her movement magnificently."
