Additional InformationIn the biopic MISS POTTER, Academy Award winner Renee Zellweger (COLD MOUNTAIN) steps into the dainty shoes of best-selling childrenÆs author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. Set in Victorian England, the film follows PotterÆs life, from a little girl with a wild imagination and a fascination for woodland animals to an independent young woman in pursuit of a career in illustration and storytelling, despite the urging of her domineering mother to follow in her footsteps in high society. After struggling to find a publisher who would take her ideas and talent seriously, Miss Potter finally lands a deal with Frederick Warne & Company. While working diligently on her debut book, THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT, she falls in love with the youngest of the Warne brothers, Norman (Ewan McGregor, MOULIN ROUGE), and the two become secretly engaged. They continue to work together on the follow-up books, a franchise that would not only make her a household name, but one of the most beloved authors of all time. Zellweger lights up the screen with her portrayal of Potter, revealing that the woman who hid behind the childrenÆs books led a fascinating and sometimes dramatic life. The film celebrates PotterÆs creativity and innovation, illustrating how she was a woman ahead of her time who--despite her high social standing--still took pleasure in the simple things in life. Zellweger and McGregor reprise the tremendous on-screen chemistry they shared in DOWN WITH LOVE, and Emily Watson (BREAKING THE WAVES) delivers a fantastic supporting-role performance as NormanÆs sister Millie.
