Samantha Morton

Project: Her

Samantha Morton is an English actress and director who became known for the British TV Series Band of Gold and the 1999 film Sweet and Lowdown. Among notable accolades she took home are a Golden Globes and British Academy Television Award. However, even for her undeniable acting prowess, she still underwent an unfortunate time after being fired indifferently.

Spike Jonze, the filmmaker, only realized that Morton wasn’t fit for the role during the post-production of the film Her. He also stated in his interview with Vulture that Scarlett Johansson would dub the operating system’s voice. The film was released on December 18, 2013, and earned five nominations at the 86th Academy Awards, winning Best Original Screenplay. Morton, on the other hand, made investments in numerous acting projects on the big screen and television, including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Last Panthers.
