Paquin: Make mine a double

Anna Paquin joins an ensemble cast including Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Spike Lee’s latest film, The 25th Hour. Advance screenings of the (typically) dark drama have sparked talk of likely Oscar nominations. Toronto Star feature hails Paquin as “a true-life Hollywood success story.” Canny film choices and a close-knit family have spared the Kiwi actress the usual fate befalling former child stars: namely drug-addled anonymity.
