Rico says she stood up well to Harrison Ford in the remake of Sabrina:
The dark and classically-beautiful British actress Julia Ormond (photo) was born into privileged surroundings as the daughter of a well-to-do laboratory technician. Her parents divorced when she was young. The second of five children, she attended Cranleigh, a private school, and showed an early interest in theatrics. Her grandparents were artists, and she initially intended to be one herself but, after one year of art school, she renewed her dedication to acting and transferred to the Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1988.Rico says he loved her in Smilla's Sense of Snow, and again in Sabrina...
She subsequently appeared in Wuthering Heights as Catherine, where she met her Heathcliff, both onstage and in real life, actor Rory Edwards. In 1989 she won the London Drama Critic's Award for her performance in Faith, Hope, and Charity as "best newcomer". Her marriage to actor Edwards, who also appeared with her in the television movie Young Catherine (1991), in which she played Catherine the Great, ended in 1994. In the meantime she slowly built up her reputation as a fine actress with the films The Baby of Mâcon (1993) and Captives (1994), but Hollywood finally took notice with her lauded support role in Legends of the Fall (1994) opposite Brad Pitt. As a result of this, she was practically handed Audrey Hepburn's role in the remake of Sabrina (1995), stealing the picture from co-star Harrison Ford.
She has since continued to glow in such international pictures as Smilla's Sense of Snow (1997), The Barber of Siberia (1998), and Resistance (2003), and in such television mini-series showcases as Iron Jawed Angels (2004).
