Who is Mia Wasikowska

Ranked #7,102 in Entertainment, #87,566 overall

Mia Wasikowska

The first time I saw Mia Wasikowska was in Alice in Wonderland (2010) and I thought she was a wonderful Alice. It seemed like she just came out of nowhere to all of a sudden play a lead character in a Tim Burton movie alongside Johnny Depp. As it turns out, she really has only been acting for a short time.

In 2004, at the age of 15, she had her first role in an Australian television show called All Saints. From there she was in several Australian short films. In 2008 she made her American debut on the first season of the HBO drama In Treatment.

Mia won the Hollywood Breakthrough Award, Actress of the Year in 2010.

In Treatment

2008

Mia played Sophie in Season 1 of the HBO Series In Treatment.

"A precocious teenage gymnast who won the Junior Nationals, Sophie saw her dreams of qualifying for the U.S. Olympic team fall apart when the bike she was riding rammed into the side of a car. Though she first shows up, in a cast, for Paul to validate her sanity on an insurance document, he coaxes her into returning after catching a glimpse at her complicated family relationships and general malaise".
