Natasha Wightman (born 1973) is an English actress who appeared in British and American films and British television productions from 1999 until 2005. Productions in which she has co-starred include State of Play.
Career
In 1999, Wightman starred in the British films The Feather Roomalchemist.[4]
In 2003, Wightman acted in several episodes of the British TV serial State of Play.[5][6] The 2005 British film Mouth to Mouth, directed by Alison Murray, includes Wightman as Rose, the incompetent mother of the protagonist Sherry (played by Elliot Page).[7]
The following year, Wightman appeared in the
totalitarian regime due to her sexual orientation. The actress stated that during Valerie's incarceration, "She finds something, her integrity, which they can't take from her. She'd almost died and then come alive again through what she found in herself."[8] Wightman shaved her head for the role, and felt this decision helped display prejudice faced by many lesbians. During this period, Wightman's neighbour called the police after assuming the actress was a man trying to break into her house.[8] Slant Magazine praised Wightman's performance and voiceover work in the film, believing she "greatly helped" turn the prison scenes "into something poetic".[9]
Personal life
Wightman is married to film-maker George Duffield.[citation needed]
