out an international reputation as a risk taker, Tilda has always

performance as the sinister, seductive villainess, the White Witch
Jadis, in the film version of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe garnered critical praise as did her portrayal of
Audrey Cobb in the Mike Mills film adaptation of the novel Thumbsucker.

dubbed her 'Rack of Pain'.
