人们提到娜奥米沃茨，更多的是她恬雅迷人的气质和她精湛的演技。她是个很冷静的女人。与好友妮可基德曼的顺风顺水的演艺生涯不同，生于英国，14岁移居澳洲的她，一直在澳洲电影界工作15年，然而一直是半红不紫的。像很多女孩一样沃茨抱着梦想来到好莱坞发展，不过扮演的都是一些小角色。在这段艰难的时期里，沃茨是失望抑郁的。她甚至无力支付她的医疗保险。在好莱坞，这个无数女孩追逐自己的梦想的土地上，机遇并没有眷顾她。这时的她挣扎着债务，对电影事业失去热情。她曾告诉过一个记者：“我记得我一个人驾车在穆赫兰大道时，我有时候会想，或许我应该冲下悬崖，因为我已经被逼入绝境了！”这时的沃茨有了回澳洲的想法。但是回去就等同于倒退。而且可能意味着一辈子待在澳洲。“这始终是个选择，我正在设法避免的。”
最后关头，是大卫林奇将她从抑郁中救了出来。他邀她出演《穆赫兰大道》中的黛安娜，一个颇有挑战性的角色。娜奥米凭借这部电影她获得奥斯卡最佳女配角的提名。看来很多时候，机遇确实在主宰我们的命运。当然若沃茨没有实力是不可能成功的。但是如果没有林奇伯乐般的慧眼，沃茨估计会返回澳洲。随后，她在《贝蒂·埃尔姆斯》中的双重表演为其赢得了众多影评协会的大奖。好莱坞开始注意这个崛起的澳洲女星。2002年戈尔沃宾斯基邀她参演《美版午夜凶铃》。该片取得了过亿的票房成绩。2003年她主演了亚历山德罗岗萨雷斯《21克》。她在这部电影精湛的演出让她获得了第一次奥斯卡最佳女主角提名。然而真正让观众注意到她的是2005年她在彼得杰克逊的《金刚》中扮演女主角安。这部电影获得了5亿2千万美元的票房成绩。

娜奥米沃茨的内心自白：
我自己的翻译无法将她那种细腻的心理表述出来。只好将其从IMDB上Copy过来了。
'Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering. It's not enough to have lived it once; you have to relive it. Darkness is not a pejorative thing."
"There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it" - on her early career.
"It was total naivety that got me to Hollywood. I thought it was going to happen straight away. I told myself 'give it 5 years, there's no way I'll be here after that if it doesn't happen'. Cut to ten years later!"
"On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff, talking about the film, explaining your own life, it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength."
"I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff."
"For the record, I am actually British as well as Australian. People always think I'm Australian but I'm happy for the Brits to claim me back. I'm offering myself up."
"Instead of thinking 'how can I slow the ageing process?' I think 'how can I bend the rules?' Every year you add to your life, you're going to add a different experience to your face."
"Whatever is said about roles drying up, I intend to keep working. Certainly now the roles couldn't be more interesting - playing mothers, divorcees. I think it's going to be exciting to play a mother of teenagers. The longer your life, the deeper it gets."
"My mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I'd been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up."
"We're so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we'll appreciate the life we have more." - in response to 21 Gram(2003).
"I've had people who've seen 21 Gram (2003) say, 'Wow, you're so brave to be looking like that'. This shocks me. I think that's what an actor's job is, to lose yourself in a role".
"You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have." quoted in the Feb 01, 2005 issue of WOMAN'S WORLD
If I have to produce movies, direct movies, whatever to change the way Hollywood treats older women, I'll do it. If I have to bend the rules, I will. If I have to break them, I will.
"Even during my most intense scenes with Seen Pen (in 21 Gram (2003)), we found ways to have fun. Sure, I have my dark moments, but I'm the girl you'll see driving down the highway singing to Blondie"
"It's always nerve-racking to take off your clothes on film. But doing it with a woman felt safer than with a man. You know you can say, 'Don't grab me there: That's where my cellulite is'!" [after being asked if it was hard to do a love scene with a woman Mulholl (2001)]
"I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine."
"The consequences are that you fear and dread being abandoned. You get a little tougher, and it's more difficult for you to become intimate. The pros are that you can adapt to any situation and that you're open to new surroundings. A lot of people get stuck in their ways, but I embrace change." on moving frequently when she was younger.
"The biggest place I look for validation is from my mother. That's the little girl in me that will never grow up." - on why not having an Oscar yet doesn't faze her.
"That ad recently turned up in a magazine in Australia. My head is in my hands as I'm sitting at as desk, thinking, 'When can I start using tampons?' I was quite old, but I was supposed to look 12". - on one of her first gigs
"I'm a tomboy now. I always wanted to fit in with my brother's group, so I climbed trees and played with lead soldiers. But I'm a woman's woman. I never understood women who don't have woman friends."
"Yeah, I suppose I am ordinarily drawn to the darker stuff. You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person."
"Every time I dress up to go somewhere, I say this is who I am: like, I feel like a Russian hooker tonight. A long time ago, I put on a Stella McCatney top with a huge amount of feathers, and I had really black eye makeup and stringy hair. My mom was like, 'That top's not working'. But that's what I looked like, a Russian hooker".
"I keep saying to myself, Oh, God, I'm sick of playing these dark, harrowing roles. I want a big paycheck, so put me in some dumb romantic comedy any day."
"When I had dark hair I definitely felt that I was more anonymous."
I had gotten to a place where I truly believed everything I was called: 'not sexy,' 'not funny,' 'too intense,' desperate.' All those labels they gave me, I took them because there wasn't a trace of my true self left. - on the struggles of her early career
"To be appreciated or recognized is everything to an artist, but to be placed in a category where judgment occurs is awful, and yet we are all liars if we can't admit that we haven't all chased it or dreamed of it, even just a little bit."
娜奥米沃茨的银幕形象
《穆赫兰大道》饰演贝蒂莲恩
这可以说是娜奥米沃茨的成名作。然而这却是一个难度相当大的角色。沃茨同时扮演贝蒂和莲恩。“她不仅要表现初来乍到的天真与自信，而且要演出绝望中的挣扎，中间还有一场类似考试的戏中戏。”沃茨以高超的演技成功地诠释这个角色。关于这部影片最让人津津乐道的是沃茨的那出自慰戏。在拍这出戏时也没有什么药物或酒精帮助。拍这个场景时，沃茨当时当然很害羞，沃茨一直在哭，因此NG了N次。无奈之下大卫林奇只好支起帐篷。让沃茨独自对着摄像机。但是还是不行。最后林奇只好采取不太绅士的“激将法”。怂恿大美女沃茨说粗口话。“F@$%％—＊”最终勉强拍完这个场景。看《穆赫兰大道》时若稍加注意的话，沃茨双眼注满了憎恨而不是快感，没错，不为谁，就为旁边的大导林奇。
剧情类《21克》饰演克里斯丁
当时沃茨连看都没看剧本便答应参演这部电影。她在影片《21克》(21Grams)中饰演了一个沉溺于毒品和派对的女孩，改过自新以后却遇上一起灾难性的事件，生活因此发生了巨大的变故。沃茨在这部电影再次展示了她那精湛的演技，尤其是当保罗告诉她他的心脏是她死去的丈夫的，沃茨瞬间爆发的愤怒和脆弱实在让人惊叹。
在拍摄这部电影时，沃茨曾谈到：“我想像在没有爱情，也不能表达的情况下生活。这部电影中的女主角是一个很多年都没有人以一种充满爱的、富于感情的方式聆听和接触的女人，她在知道丈夫的不忠后仍然要想办法创造出继续活下来的机制。突然她唤醒了她内在的什么东西，这种东西重新给她勇气，给她对自我的感觉。”
爱情片《金刚》 饰演金刚女友安
沃茨在之中扮演金刚的女友。这部电影取得的巨大的票房成就，这也使得沃茨第一次被大多数观众所熟悉。于是金刚女友便成了她的雅号了。直到她仍没有摆脱掉它呢。这部电影甚至让她获得了“尖叫女王”的荣誉。早在《午夜凶铃》她已叫得相当过瘾了，因此这部电影对她来讲，不过是小菜一碟。不过在拍摄拍摄这部电影时，她曾重重地跌了一跤。她从高处跌入一个水沟，这足足使在场的工作人员抓狂了一阵。她得感谢她多年来修炼瑜伽，正因为有内力保身，她才没有落下任何永久性损伤。彼得杰克逊在谈到娜奥米沃茨时说道：“她属于那种演员，如果她哭了，那一定是她心中想着让她哭的事。”
言情片《面纱》饰演吉蒂
原版《金刚》中的女主角菲·沃瑞自从被金刚看上并有幸成为女友后，她万万没有想到她一辈子都要活在“金刚女友”的阴影下。而沃茨没有。沃茨一直在扩展自己的戏路，尝试着不同的角色。金刚只是她的一个尝试，之后她便给我们带来这部富有中国情调的《面纱》。
吉蒂为了逃离20年代伦敦浮华却又空虚的社交圈，也为了防止自己变成一位老姑娘，接受了沉默寡言的医生沃特·费恩的求婚。费恩在把吉蒂带到上海后，便迅速地投入到了他的细菌学研究中去。孤独的吉蒂和迷人的已婚男子查理·唐森发生了婚外情，当费恩发现时，他羞恨交加。为了报复，也为了重整自己的生活，费恩决定孤注一掷，带着吉蒂远走霍乱肆虐的偏远城镇。沃特从一尘不染的研究室走向了瘟疫流行的最前线，他慢慢地协助控制了当地的疫情。吉蒂则开始在一家由法国修女住持的修道院兼医院中做义工，并逐渐找回了生活的勇气和意义。沃特和吉蒂终于可以互相敞开心扉，但就在他们日渐亲密的同时，沃特染上了霍乱。在生死别离之时他们的心终于紧靠在一起。
我原本以为沃茨会跟爱德华诺顿擦出爱情火花的，结果没有。她倒是跟她在片中的偷情汉列维施卫伯格玩得火热。并暴出沃茨怀孕的消息。暴露着不是别人，就是沃茨自己。沃茨整天挺着大肚子到处逛，生怕狗仔队不知道她已升职为未婚先有子小姐。哈哈，她还真可爱。喜欢她这种率真的本性。
当初以《穆赫兰大道》一战成名的她已是三十出头，可谓是大器晚成。她是个理性的女人，尽管是个一线大明星，但沃茨却很安静。沃茨是性感的，但她不会像安吉莉娜朱莉那样摆弄她的性感。她不像那帮女明星那样到处闹绯闻。与大多数好莱坞女明星飘忽不定的选片眼光不同，沃茨对剧本的挑剔是出了名的。尤其是近几年，每年都参与三部电影的拍摄。这样的认真准备，也让她在每部戏中的表演都保持相当高的水准。相信以她对工作一丝不苟的态度，还有她那冷静的头脑，她一定可以在好莱坞缔造属于她的辉煌的。
关于沃茨的两部新片
由大师级导演大卫柯南伯格执导，由维果莫坦森，文森特卡塞尔和娜奥米沃茨主演的一部新片。讲述的是伦敦助产士安娜在圣诞前夜，目睹了一个即将临产的女人的死亡，她决心找出这个女孩的身份。她的行为无意中触动了伦敦黑手党的利益。这个组织的杀手尼古拉展开了一系列的追杀行动。柯南伯格的电影一向是出了名的暴力血腥。但是这部从剧情来看，似乎是想告诉我们他对老年生活的喜爱。不过据说这部电影是柯南伯格最好的作品之一。哈哈，我就好好等盗版碟吧～
沃茨，不久前签下合约加盟“哈利·波特”第六部《哈利·波特与混血王子》。她将在片中扮演反派男孩德拉科·马尔福的母亲纳西莎·马尔福。纳西莎这个人物最早出现在第四本“哈利·波特”小说《火焰杯》中，但当时的电影改编没有给她一席之地。书中对纳西莎的描述是“高高瘦瘦、苍白、蓝眼睛的金发女人”。本人对哈里波特的电影一直不感冒。迄今为止只看了第一部，那还完全是我的洛丽塔情结在作祟。小小小小沃森多可爱啊！考虑到沃茨的加盟，这部电影是该密切关注一下的。
够专业
