The "Queen of Remakes" nickname that Naomi Watts carries doesn't do justice to her acting talent. Trained in acting since childhood, including a stint at North Sydney Girls High School with Nicole Kidman as a classmate, Naomi Watts started her career in Australian television before earning major kudos in David Lynch's bizarre Hollywood odyssey Mulholland Drive.
While some of her biggest hits (King Kong, The Ring) have indeed been remakes, and there are rumors of another one on the horizon (2011's The Birds, with George Clooney), the Oscar-nominated Naomi Watts has also shown her diverse talents in highly praised films like 21 Grams and Eastern Promises. 2008 featured Naomi Watts in yet another remake, the perpetually creepy Funny Games.
Naomi Watts is a natural beauty with looks that the camera loves and that audiences desire. To date, she's been singled out by People (50 Most Beautiful People, 2002), FHM France (100 Sexiest Women in the World, 2006), FHM UK (Most Eligible Women, 2006), and us (AskMen.com's Most Desirable Women, 2006).
There was nothing sexy about Naomi Watts' performance in 2008's Funny Games. As the strongest voice in a family being held hostage, she was decidedly unglamorous -- and unquestionably talented. In 2009, she teams up with Clive Owen for the thriller The International and her pal Nicole Kidman for the twisted drama Need. She also has roles in We Are All the Same and Kicked, Bitten and Scratched.
