Biography: Miranda Otto was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia on December 16, 1967. She is the daughter of famed Australian actor, Barry Otto. She graduated from the prestigious NIDA Theatrical School in 1990 and has been nominated four-times in the Australian Film Institute's for best actress.

Otto made her film debut in Emma's War in 1986 and gained critical recognition in 1991's The Girl Who Came Late. She has been in many critically acclaimed but little-seen films. Otto finally got Hollywood's attention with small roles in major motion pictures such as The Thin Red Line (1998) and Robert Zemeckis' What Lies Beneath (2000).

After Cameron Diaz decided to star in being John Malkovich, Otto lost the role in a film she really wanted to do. The director, however, remembered her and cast her in the movie Human Nature (much to Otto's delight). Otto landed the role of Eowyn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and is Tolkien's only really detailed female character in the books. She spent six-months on set learning sword fighting and horseback riding.

Otto was married to Peter O'Brien in early 2003. The Lord of the Rings movies have gained her world-wide attention, something she's not entirely sure she wants.
