Summer 2000 Update: "Tart", a movie Alberta filmed last year with
Melanie Griffith and Dominique Swain, is due out later this year.
She is currently filming the movie version of the successful
off-Broadway musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". Alberta Watson,
well known to television audiences as Madeline on the cable hit "La
Femme Nikita", has enjoyed a long and diverse career in television
and film. A native of Toronto, Watson began performing with a local
theater group as a teenager. She received a Genie nomination for
best supporting actress for one of her first movie roles, Mitzi in
George Kaczender's "In Praise of Older Women" Just a year later,
she took home the Best Actress award at the Yorkton Film Festival
for short films for "Exposure". Watson then headed to the United
States, living in New York and then moving to Los Angeles, where
she made several films including the cult horror classic "The Keep"
with Scott Glenn and the TV movie "Women of Valor" with Susan
Sarandon and Kristy McNichol. After returning to the East Coast,
Watson took a chance on a low-budget independent film with
then-novice director David O. Russell. "Spanking the Monkey" won
the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award, multiple Independent
Spirit Awards, and dozens of rave reviews for Watson's performance
as a depressed, addicted mother who has an affair with her own son,
played by "Saving Private Ryan" star Jeremy Davies. The next year,
Watson went on to play the far more stable mother to a teenage
computer genius in the box office smash "Hackers", and then the
wife of mobster John Gotti in the Emmy nominated television movie
of the same name. Watson returned to Toronto and continued to seek
out interesting roles in independent film, a quest which led her to
work with fledgling director Colleen Murphy on 1996's "Shoemaker".
