Gabrielle Anwar

Acting Appreciation

Probably best known for her role as Margaret Tudor on the Starz series The Tudors and as Fiona Glenanne on the USA Network series Burn Notice, Gabrielle Anwar was born in Laleham, Surrey on February 4, 1970. 

She studied drama and dance at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London. She was kicked out of school for fist-fighting at the age of 15; however, soon after, she landed the main role of Tracy Wright in the BBC miniseries Hideaway. 

At the age of 19, the English actress moved to Los Angeles with actor Craig Sheffer.

While cleaning apartments she got called in for an audition for a role that would become her breakthrough, Scent of a Woman. She would play Al Pacino's character's tango partner, an iconic moment in film. 

As she would later describe it, "A tango is inherently a sensual experience. Dancing a Tango with Al Pacino is something I am yet to recover from."

 She would then appear in Body Snatchers, For Love or Money, and The Three Musketeers. In addition to her work on television and in film, Anwar has also appeared in various stage productions and music videos. She has been nominated for several awards throughout her career, including a Screen Actors Guild Award for her work on The Tutors.
