Meet Thandie Newton

Newton was born on November 6, 1972, in Zambia. Her father is British and her mother is Zimbabwean. Her birth name is actually Thandiwe, meaning 'beloved'.

Following political unrest in Zambia, the family moved back to the UK, where they lived in Cornwall.

When she was 11 years old, she enrolled in London's Art Educational School to study modern dance, until an injury forced her to stop dancing and try acting instead.
