All over the world there are talents that are respected and loved in the native country, and few people know it outside its borders. This does not mean at all that such people do not hold out according to any criteria by which, in fact, popularity and universality are measured. In today's article, we would like to tell the reader about a woman whose contribution to the cinema of the United States of America is quite significant. The one that has bypassed many others by the number of worthwhile works in the vast ocean of the film industry, which won the audience love and the highest score of critics. It will be about Embet Davidz, her biography and creative path.
The creative baggage of Embet Jean Davidz (this is the full name of the actress) is quite extensive and has long jumped the mark of 40 diverse roles. She was invited to various feature films and popular TV shows. The actress, who played in such films as “Last Summer of Love” (1995), “Mansfield Park” (1999) and “13 Ghosts” (2001), began her career on the stage. And, by the way, I didn’t plan to try my hand at film projects, because I always considered myself to be a theater actress, not a screen actress, as my heart.
Childhood and youth
Parents Davidz Embet were from South Africa, and in the USA her father studied at Purdue University. Here, in the small town of Lafayette, on August 11, 1965, a girl was born in Mr. Daviditz's young family. Having chosen a teaching career as his specialty, the head of the family became a professor at Potchefstroom University, South Africa. Embet then was not even 10 years old, and to study in South Africa she had to urgently learn one of the African languages. Like many girls at her age, little Davidts dreamed of becoming an actress. She studied in Pretoria, and then received a diploma in English literature from the University of Rhodes in Grahamstown.
Carier start
Although the qualification of Embet was somewhat different, but the girl was determined to become an actress. And already in 1986, she first appeared on the stage of the Cape Town Summer Theater, playing the main role in Shakespeare's drama "Romeo and Juliet." And she had to speak her words at once in two languages: English and Afrikaans, which is a dialect of South Africa and Namibia.
Ambet Davidz played many theater premieres in her youth. For participating in the performances she was awarded a prestigious theater award, an analogue of the American "Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theater". In South Africa, David starred in his first films, which was also noted by viewers and awards.
Movie work
A new milestone in the life of Ambet Davidets came in 1989, when in the cinemas they showed the horror film Mutator, where she had a small role. Since 1992, the actress moved to a permanent residence in America. At the same time, the third part of the series "The Evil Dead", called "Army of Darkness." Embet in it played the girl Sheila. The NBC channel is increasingly offering roles to a young actress. And she likes to play in complex psychological films, dramas, thrillers.
In Russia, Davidz Embet is not as famous as in the USA. Americans love the actress, considering her one of the most beautiful and talented women. Many know her as Helen Hirsch from the biographical drama Schindler's List (1993), others like her main role in the melodrama Mansfield Park (1998) based on the novel by Jane Austen. Critics have repeatedly noted such films with her participation as “July Holiday”, “First-degree Murder”, “Fracture”, “Bicentennial Man”, “Fallen” and others. Ambet Davidz, whose photo is presented in the article, was also involved in the famous films "The Diary of Bridget Jones", "Lascivious California", the series "Clinic", "Ray Donovan."
Among the last significant projects in Embet’s career, one should note the work in the film “Paranoia” in 2013 and in the film adaptation of the comics “The New Spider-Man: High Voltage”, which was released in 2014. The series "The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe" can also be added to this list, because at the peak of his popularity he was in this period.
Personal life
Embet refers to those people who never regret the past. And in the past, she had a close relationship with American actor and producer Harvey Keitel. Later, Ambet Davidz, whose films and projects were presented in the article, agreed with the British actor Ben Chaplin. But in 2002, she did not get married to a representative of her profession. Her husband was lawyer Jason Sloan. The couple has two children: Charlotte Emily, born in 2002, and Asher Dylan, who recently turned 12 years old.
Since 2013, Davidz Embet fought cancer, took chemotherapy courses. To avoid the development of the disease, the actress decided on a double mastectomy, although the tumor affected only one breast. She said that she did not want to have a time bomb and spend the rest of her life in anticipation of the return of the disease. Recovery after the operation was slow and difficult. But even during this period, Embet continued to work, finding distraction in her favorite business and drawing strength from it.
