I still recall the first time I saw her in León, The Professional. She was captivating even then. Especially the scene where she knows her family is dead and she’s begging to come into León’s apartment. Even in that early role, you could see the kind of star she would become. Which was proven when she won the Oscar for Black Swan. V for Vendetta is another of my favourites of hers – especially the fake prison sequence!
