Saffron Burrows has to be one of Britain's most under-rated actresses. The brunette beauty has had starring roles in blockbuster films; The Bank Job, Deep Blue Sea and Troy, yet seems to still be fairly unknown. She's stunning, versatile and talented, yet why has she no awards, and why do we not see more of her in magazines? Does she shy away from the limelight or has she just got a poor PR.
It took a long time for fellow Brit, Thandie Newton to reach the stardom she has, even after she had a lead role in Mission Impossible 2, but after Crash and The Pursuit of Happiness she has become a well recognised public figure. What concerns me is that Saffron Burrows has been at it now for many, many years, yet does not have super stardom. She's far more beautiful and talented than Julia Roberts, so why doesn't she have mass recognition. Why is it that it takes so much longer for British Actresses to reach a decent level. I find it frustrating when weaker actresses such as Sienna Miller are more known, yet don't warrant the attention. However I suppose she is more famous for love life than her talents. The only person that I haven't seen struggle, and I have known this girl since she was 11 is Keira Knightley. As soon as she did The Hole when we were at school she just kept propelling towards bigger and better roles. And this, I know, is down to clever management. I just wish someone would help Saffron out, she deserves to be a mega star.
