4 Best Miranda Otto Roles If You Wondered What Happened to Her After Lord of the Rings
More than 20 years after LoTR, the actress' career is still in full swing.
Lord of the Rings remained the biggest project in the careers of most of the cast, and Miranda Otto, who played Eowyn, is no exception.
Many viewers stopped following the actress after the end of the iconic trilogy, but she did not give up her career and continues to act – both on the big and small screen.
1. Ladies in Black, 2024-...
In 1961, Magda Szombathelyi, head of the Model Gowns department, decides to leave Goode's to open her own boutique. She is replaced by a strict Englishwoman, Mrs. Ambrose (Miranda Otto), who insists on preserving tradition and forces the employees to decorate the store in a restrained English style.
The new rules aren't to everyone's liking, especially young student Lisa. She is ambitious: Lisa wants to prove to the world that women can not only bear children and sell dresses, but also build careers, make important scientific discoveries, and start their own businesses.
2. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, 2018-2020
A mix of horror, fantasy, and drama, this series differs significantly from the popular 2000s sitcom about the little witch starring Melissa Joan Hart, although it was based on the same comic book series.
The story centers on a young witch Sabrina, an orphan who lives with two aunts, Zelda (Miranda Otto) and Hilda. Accustomed to a simple life, the girl refuses to go to study witchcraft and faces the wrath of the dark forces.
The safety of the entire world depends on the young witch, who has just turned sixteen, but she is determined to save those around her and defend her right to live as she chooses.
3. The Clearing, 2023
Little Sara is walking along a country road on her way home. But she is unlucky – she meets 13-year-old Amy (Teresa Palmer), who is helping The Family complete the planned kidnapping. A few minutes later, Sara will find herself in a white van and be taken to a place where she will have to "become clean" and appear to Mommy as a new child.
Miranda Otto plays a rather unusual role – the main antagonist of the project, Mommy named Adrienne. The Cleansing is a rather intricate detective story that will keep you glued to the screen – thanks to the talented acting of Teresa Palmer and Miranda Otto, whose confrontation permeates every minute of the series.
4. Talk to Me, 2022
Mia's life is a nightmare – she just buried her mother, her mental health is deteriorating, her classmates think she is weird, her ex left her for a friend. But Mia has Jade.
The girl persuades Jade to go to a party where friends use a witch's hand to let demons into themselves and post the videos on the Internet. Mia, to impress the company, decides to try it, goes through all the nightmares of hell and ... remains satisfied. The teenagers are drawn into conversations with the dead, until one day the 90-second contact rule is violated.
Although Miranda Otto is the only A-list actress in this movie, she played a supporting role – the mother of Mia's friend Jade.
