Christmas Memories of Anna Paquin
James Servin
One of Oscar-winning Anna Paquin's favourite Christmas memories
is still fresh -- it was last year in Toronto when she was here
shooting Bryan Singer's comic book film X-Men.
"It was really nice last year because I got to spend it with
my entire family, which, situationally, actually doesn't happen
very often," she recalls.
Paquin won her Oscar for The Piano when she was 11.
The Winnipeg-born, New Zealand-raised actress is the daughter
of Mary and Brian Paquin.
Now 18, Anna has two older siblings, 23-year-old Andrew and
19-year-old Katya.
"We're all kind of scattered around the place doing our own
thing," she says of the family.
But last Christmas was special.
"Everyone managed to get in the same city at the same time. It
was kind of rare and really, really lovely."
This year will be different. Paquin, soon to co-star in
Finding Forrester, is taking her break from her freshman
year at Columbia University in New York to shoot a movie in
Germany.
"I'm not entirely sure of what my plans are for the rest of my
winter break, especially Christmas time."
