USA Today Interview Article!

March 13th, 2010 • E-Articles, Mia

Hello everyone,

USA Today recently published their interview online with Mia today:

‘Wonderland’ star Wasikowska is a wildflower in acting world
Much like her heroine in Tim Burton’s fantastical Alice in Wonderland, Mia Wasikowska knows her own mind.
In the mega-budget adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale, which just crushed box-office records with its $116.3 million opening, her now-older Alice refuses to be pushed around. Not by the Victorian upper-class twit who wants to wed her, nor by the oddball inhabitants of Wonderland who insist that she rescue them from the evil Red Queen.

Similarly, this 20-year-old Australian newcomer from Canberra is not about to change her mouthful of a last name — which is pronounced VAH-shee-kov-ska and comes courtesy of her Polish-born photographer mother — for the convenience of others.

“Very character-building,” she says.

Nor will the actress, who has been likened to a young Cate Blanchett, ever flinch from doing a foreign accent. Besides her British-lite intonations for Alice, the natural mimic has done Polish (2008′s Defiance opposite Daniel Craig), Southern (last year’s That Evening Sun with Hal Holbrook, which earned her a supporting Spirit Award nomination), as well as other American varieties for Amelia and the recent Sundance hit The Kids Are All Right.
