Tilda Swinton

The Observer has an interesting profile on actress and Viktor & Rolfe muse Tilda Swinton (Orlando, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe) whose Scottish lineage can be traced back to the ninth century. An excerpt:

The year after Jarman died, Swinton lay asleep in a glass box in the Serpentine Gallery for eight hours a day. The performance piece, called The Maybe, was conceived by Swinton as part of a show by Cornelia Parker, which included the relics of illustrious ghosts - a cushion from Freud's couch, Churchill's last cigar. An eerie take on Sleeping Beauty, and a beautifully posed question about mortality, The Maybe included a small sign next to the display case. 'Matilda Swinton (1960-)'.
